Culture for Kids, created by Club Passim in 1999, is a free, monthly,
multicultural program whose goals are to provide children with exposure
to other cultures and peoples. An emphasis is placed on children who may
not have the benefit of cultural and artistic opportunities in their
schools or communities. Our goal is, in part, to help build an openness
and tolerance for others among our participants, skills they can take
forward from this program into the rest of their life experiences. Many
of our artists and performers are found in the local area, thus
reinforcing the concept that the rest of the world is not so far away.
Culture for Kids was created in part, through collaborations
with the International House of Blues Foundation, The Cambridge
Performance Project and other community organizations. The afternoon
program celebrates a rich variety of communities including: the cultures
of Bolivia, Ireland, China, Cape Verde, West Africa, Russia,
Newfoundland, India, Brazil, Cuba, Iraq, Native American and American
folk cultures. Each program fuses music, history and performance and
usually includes a visual art workshops. Many programs feature
traditional cooking representative of a specific culture or ethnicity.
Liza Connolly, a local educator and chef, provides expertise in menu
planning emphasizing a rich variety of traditional foods. Collaborations
with the Children's Museum and the Cambridge Arts Council ensure that
our community outreach programs bring a broad variety of musical styles
to the greater Boston community.
