Sign up for our Spring 2021 Virtual Cultural Festival!

Welcome educators! Please sign up below to attend our FREE Spring 2021 Virtual Cultural Festival, on Friday, 4/23/21! You can sign up for one session, or all the sessions! Please come and go as works with your schedule. All sessions are designed for a K-12 audience and will be live-streamed in both ZOOM (free download) and YouTube. The first 40-45 minutes of each session will be an interactive presentation and the last 15-20 minutes of each session will be an open Q & A session where you can type your students' general questions about the countries and cultures into the chat or comments. You are also welcome to just attend the Q&A portions of the presentations.

You must sign up at least 24 hours in advance (or by Thursday, 4/23 at 5 PM) in order to receive the ZOOM link/s and password for the festival, and the unlisted YouTube link/s (our Mailchimp account does not have the feature to send an automated message with the link when you sign up, so I am sending them out manually. We will not be posting the links publicly for safety and privacy.) I have requested that the University increase our ZOOM capacity for the event, but it is possible that we could still max out on ZOOM. In that case, you can join via YouTube instead. If your school district does not allow ZOOM, hopefully you can join via YouTube. Participants will not be able to turn on their videos, and they will be muted. Only presenters will have their videos on. However, we will be able to interact with you through the chat, polls, comments, and Q&A functions! Our UNC students are looking forward to presenting!

PERMISSION SLIP: We are highly recommending that teachers have their students’ parents sign this digital permission slip in order to attend the festival. Parents can complete the digital permission slip, or teachers can print off hard copies of the permission slip to send home with students. If teachers use hard copies, we ask that they scan the permission slips and email us a copy of them at navigators@unc.edu.
