"Our two-hour workshops are designed to foster awareness and appreciation of the global community," said Melanie Castillo-Cullather, the ACC's director. "A single program showcases one Asian ethnic culture -- which participants get to choose in advance -- and features fun and interactive activities, including hands-on arts and crafts, traditional games, exploring music and language, and cooking demonstrations."
