Families Exploring Culture

Jade Jones, owner of the Jonesin' For Taste blog, invites you to join her in the discussion of cultural awareness and world diversity. Learn how families teach their children to explore and embrace the world, its people and their differences with a compassionate heart and open mind. When we reach out of our comfort zone and seek to learn about other people, nationalities, and cultures, we become more empathetic. This creates a feeling of social connection and unification.
