A Lecture by Dr. Charlotte Cole.
Spurlock Museum Guild Lecture and Performance Series.
For nearly forty years, Sesame Workshop has produced the pre-school television program Sesame Street. Today, Sesame Street airs in over 120 countries around the world and includes thirty co-produced international versions, such as Takalani Sesame in South Africa and Sisimpur in Bangladesh. Dr. Charlotte Cole, Vice President of International Education at Sesame Workshop, will address some of the challenges and successes she encountered while working to localize the Sesame Street program with indigenous songs, puppets, and curricula for projects in Egypt, India, Northern Ireland, Russia, South Africa, and other countries around the globe.
