Finding activities to keep participants engaged during Cultural Orientation sessions can be time-consuming, but they are essential for adult learners. To aid staff in delivering interactive Cultural Orientation sessions, CORE has created an Activity Bank where Cultural Orientation providers can explore activities, lesson plans, and additional resources on a variety of Cultural Orientation topics. You can use the activities and other information to create Cultural Orientation sessions that meet the language and literacy needs of your participants while also applying adult-learning principles, student-centered learning, and integrating digital technology. 

The Activity Bank currently features the following topics: Health, COVID-19, and U.S. Laws and includes activities that can be used in person or virtually. CORE will continue to add other Cultural Orientation topics in the coming months.

Have an activity you’d like to contribute? Submit activities for CORE’s consideration by completing the form on the Activity Bank page. We encourage you to share your successful activities with other Cultural Orientation providers!
