Vision Statement:NSHS Project Connect envisions a world where language is not a barrier among people, but an opportunity for linguistic and cultural education. Through the Project Connect Language Exchange (Café Chat), we will begin a journey in cultural awareness, understanding, and language development. Through the exchange of language, we will become ambassadors for those without a voice and bring diverse perspectives to daily conversation. We envision a world in which we can unite in our similarities and celebrate our differences, and we will do so by overcoming one of the greatest barriers among people: language.
