Cenet Launches Cultural Classroom for Southeast Missouri Teachers
Since 2011, Cenet has provided Culture in the Classroom for area schools and groups. Through this program, Cenet has entered countless local classrooms with international visitors to provide authentic, cultural education.
Although Culture in the Classroom has provided free education for thousands of area students, Cenet has decided to take the program one step further by providing cultural experiences for local educators, as well.
In 2019, Cenet will launch Cultural Classroom. The mission is simple: to inspire cultural competency and create a better quality of life for our community members.
Local educators who are selected for Cultural Classroom receive the following:

-Pre-Departure Orientation.
