Celebrating the 2026 Impact Award Recipients
On February 11, announced that TEA’s Teaching East Asia Through Picture Books program was one of five programs recognized for the 2026 Excellence in Civic & Community Engagement Programming Awards - an award highlighting programs that have utilized on-campus civic and community engagement in a way that makes deep and long-lasting positive change. Teaching East Asia Through Picture Books has been helping K-12 classrooms establish cross-cultural connections with Asia since its launch in 2024 and has reached classrooms across Colorado. By introducing students to East Asian topics through picture books on natural sciences, geography, biographies, and more, TEA has opened the opportunity for teachers and students alike to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of East Asia, and it strives to continue doing so for years to come.
