Pasculle’s innovative teaching idea, “Bridging Cultures Challenge,” focuses on Your Big Year (Virtual) Impact Challenge, a live and digital dynamic program for students designed to bridge cultural divides and provide them with a transformative, hands-on way to meet and collaborate with a diverse group of peers from around the world. This program will include a four-day conference followed by a three-month, project-based classroom curriculum. The Your Big Year Challenge connects skills from academia with the abilities needed to have successful careers and exposes students to the benefits of cultural experiences with first-hand conversations, debate and collaboration with peers around the globe. The program brings the world directly to the classroom and teaches digital skills and cultural understanding in a trusted space where youth can voice their opinions and ideas.
