Cultural Connect Program

Urban Anthropology Inc. offers an extremely unique program for middle and high school students in southeastern Wisconsin. The program is designed to familiarize students with the cultural groups in their own backyards. These studies have been collaborative ventures between UrbAn and the local universities’ anthropology departments. Urban Anthropology Inc. is the only organization in the United States that has studied these backyard cultural groups and has also made documentaries on each of these. Various versions of the program are outlined below.
