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.
