Each culture kit features a different Middle East country and contains items and informational resources about it. These include books, maps, clothing, everyday items and items for religious or holiday use. The culture kits are available for public use and can be checked out from the Outreach Office in CMES. Please note, these kits are too heavy to be mailed.
These are a great resource for teachers. However, they can also be used for organizations and other members of the community. We are currently updating our country-themed culture kits. We recently have added teaching resources such as complementary lesson plans to our Morocco, Turkey, and Cyprus culture kits.
We are currently creating new kits about Kurds, Islam, Judaism, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, the Arabian Peninsula, Egypt, Palestine, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya, Iraq and Israel.
In addition to the culture kits, Outreach also has other items that can be checked out. These include CD’s, DVD’s, and books.
