Building Bridges: A Peace Corps Classroom Guide to Cross-Cultural Understanding.

Link: http://www.peacecorps.gov/wws/.

Understanding the concept of culture helps people live with others of different backgrounds within the classroom, the local community, and the worldwide scale of political, social, and economic interaction. The lessons presented in this book help students begin to more fully understand their own culture and how it has shaped them; to understand the perspectives of other cultures; and to provide an increased awareness of the value and practicality of social service within and beyond the bounds of schools.
