"Around the World in Milwaukee" Documentary Premiere @ Wendy Joy Lindsey Theater | Milwaukee | Wisconsin | United States

Global Youth Leadership Institute partnered with the Nicholas Sparks foundation to gather high school students in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area of different cultural backgrounds for a day of cultural exploration and storytelling. The day was filmed and will be made into a documentary highlighting ways youth are preserving their cultures within small U.S. cities. The intention is use this film in classrooms throughout the U.S. – helping students to gain an understanding of someone else’s cultural story upbringing in the U.S. that is different than their own.
