The Embassy of Mongolia in Washington is participating in Washington Performing Arts’ Embassy adoption program in the academic years of 2015-2016 and working with McKinley STEM Middle School to promote and share Mongolian culture and history under its sixth grade Social Studies curriculum.
Through the program that will continue until this June, the school pupils have been taught about Mongolian history, culture, language and script, and they also got familiarized with the tales of the Queen Alungua, and meaning of the Buddhist dance “Tsam”.
For the next three months, professional artists and students will volunteer their time to teach Mongolian dance and a climate change policy of Mongolia. At the end of the program students will represent Mongolia at the Model UN program and visit the embassy to present what they have learned about our country.
