Exclusive Content: In-Country Experts
Looking for current, concise, classroom-ready information about the world and its cultures? Only CultureGrams (free trial) links students to cultural information that's written and regularly updated by in-country experts.
Our native and resident authors document the unique, intimate details of each country's customs, traditions, politics, and daily life. And whether it's Afghanistan, Thailand (sample report), or Zimbabwe, CultureGrams offers an equality of coverage detailing 25 different aspects of the country and its culture.
Cultural Focus: Insights into Daily Life
CultureGrams helps you discover the world through concise cultural and statistical snapshots that take you beyond typical economic statistics and tourist overviews.
See what life's really like for average people around the world--from birth to death--with details that explore customs and courtesies, personal appearance, attitudes, lifestyle, and more.
In the States and Provinces editions, timelines and cultural notes even capture the diverse aspects of life across the states and provinces of North America.
Multimedia Features: See the World
It's easy to experience the world up-close with CultureGrams' rich, authentic multimedia content. Video and photo images illuminate daily life in other countries in ways text cannot.
Themed slideshows take students on a visual journey, while videos offer a glimpse of everyday life through clips of locations, people, and events. Detail and outline versions of flags and maps are available for every country, state, and province. Plus, our ever-growing photo gallery is home to thousands of fascinating cultural images.
All content can be streamed or downloaded for use in the classroom
--on computers, projectors, or whiteboards--and is easily downloadable into student presentations.
Timely Tools for Understanding the World
We make it easy to visualize data about daily life that helps explain our ever-changing world. Choose the countries or regions you wish to compare, choose the data you want (infant mortality, female literacy, etc.), press a button, and watch as a graph or table instantly appears.
