The document summarizes the Friends and Flags project, a multicultural learning project that ran from 1999-2007. The project's objectives were to promote global collaboration, be student-centered, and develop cultural awareness through authentic learning. Students exchanged "Friends and Flags Packs" between classrooms in different countries. These packs included cultural items, student work, and information about each country. The goal was to create a global community of exchange to help students learn about other cultures. Evaluations found the project successful in meeting its goals of cultural learning and international collaboration.
