City of Boston employees gain a better understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures through the Cultural Awareness Series, which take place 4-6 times per year and are usually attended by 50-60 people each time. The goal of the one-hour presentations is to increase the sense of community and teamwork by sharing languages, music, customs, food, folklore, literature and artifacts. Check the MONB calendar for upcoming presentations.
