Welcome to Connecting Kids and Culture

 

Connecting Kids and Culture is an initiative to enhance student learning by providing greater access to the educational programs of Des Moines area arts and cultural organizations. The program connects students and school district curriculum with arts and cultural experiences in Des Moines community. This web site connects over a thousand kindergarten through fifth grade learning objectives, in seven subject areas, from multiple central Iowa school districts, and matches them with arts and cultural experiences available in the greater Des Moines area. 

 

Search the database of programs by learning objective, grade level, arts or cultural organization, or school district. Find an educational experience offered by an arts or cultural organization that connects with what is being taught in the classroom. 

Start with your grade level >> Start with your subject area >> Start with your school district >> Start with a cultural organization >> OR, if you you'd like to start with a blank slate, start here >>
