Our brand empowers and shares diverse, colorful, and unique cultures from around the world, creating a global village to foster tolerance, appreciation, and unity. We understand that cultural identity bolsters diversity, and thus believe acceptance and tolerance are promoted by our creation of a common ground where the creative arts are a powerful tool used to tell great stories of traditions.
At the WHCC, we describe culture as presenting the inheritable pattern of human knowledge on a common ground through ancient and modern dance, music, stories, cuisine, fashion, language, festivals, art, and architecture.
The United States is a nation of blended cultures. Throughout the centuries, alongside the Natives, immigrants and their American-born children have been a part of this colorful patchwork we call the United States of America, where creative expression not only differs state to state but also even within the communities comprising a single city like New York.
To understand where you come from and where others come from will help to foster a greater understanding and respect for different cultural values and customs. Arts integration is a powerful force that will allow people to experience things directly and develop a strong self-identity that connects them to their cultural roots.
Our studies at the World Heritage Cultural Center teach about world culture and heritage: to understand it, to respect, to love it. We also promote the arts as agents of social change in the world.
Our teachers are luminaries devoted to their diverse expertise, which lends breadth and depth to our program offerings, providing unique opportunities for students, mentorship, and support.
Social Justice and Environmental Stewardship categories were added to our educational formats as our commitment to preserve global cultural heritage and knowledge of all peoples cannot be realized without the protection of human rights and local natural resources.
Dance and musical participation inculcate culture not as a text or set of rules, but as a profound aesthetic orientation.
Art is a form of communication; it allows people from different cultures and different times to communicate with each other via images, sounds, and stories.
Studying the culinary arts can help improve your life and the lives of the people you end up cooking for, as there is comfort in familiarity and joy in exploring unfamiliar palates.
The clothes we wear tell stories of our culture and heritage – things that can't easily be shrugged on and taken off at will. Tradition is passed down in the creation of our clothes.
At WHCC, we believe the concept of social justice refers to the process of ensuring that individuals fulfill their societal roles and receive what was their due from society.
Environmental stewardship refers to responsible use and protection of the natural environment through conservation and sustainable practices.
The WHCC vision is to establish its HQ and then chapters across the US and globally. With our vast global network of relationships built, this vision will be attainable in the US within the 1st year after its HQ is established and within 3 years for global chapters.
The time is right to establish a physical location for people to come together. Communities want culture, and cultural groups want a home to cherish, advance, and celebrate their heritage. WHCC facilities can provide that home.
Once our HQ is established, we have a strong business plan to be successful without depending entirely on grants and donations, a model all our chapters would follow.
Our target capital campaign is for our HQ space. Please send us an email for our business plan and details.
