In a Nutshell

Immersive cultural experience promotes global understanding with research project & presentation, shared ethnic meal & overnight hostel stay

The Fine Print

Many young people in Chicago live in culturally isolated communities with largely homogenous school populations. Great Schools reports that in a study of 26 local schools, 6 have more than a 90% representation of one ethnicity in their student bodies, 12 have more than 80% representation, and 17 schools have more than 70% representation. Hostelling International Chicago (HI-Chicago) is part of a worldwide network of 4,000 Hostelling International hostels that work to promote international understanding and enable individuals to grow from shared cultural experiences.

Hosteling International’s Cultural Kitchen program facilitates global understanding through a weeklong curriculum with research on international cultures. Students gather in teams at HI-Chicago’s downtown location, cook an ethnic meal, dine with world travelers, perform a presentation on a country of their choice to an international audience, and get a taste of travel by sleeping at the hostel overnight. The positive interactions with world travelers are aimed at developing intercultural communication skills while helping students grow into intellectually aware global citizens. The Cultural Kitchen program also satisfies one of Chicago public school students’s three required service-learning projects for graduation.

Join G-Team and donate $10 to help introduce students to international cultures through service learning. If G-Team members raise $280, then Hosteling International can sponsor four students in its Cultural Kitchen program, in which they can interact with and learn from world travelers. Each additional $70 raised will sponsor another youth in the program.

Unlike traditional Groupon deals, G-Team campaigns typically don't offer you a "discount" or "savings." So "buyer" beware—when you click "Buy" to donate your time or money to a worthwhile G-Team cause, the only discount you may receive is 100% off free, priceless karma. Read more about G-Team.

The Groupon Guide to: Color Theory

If you're a visual artist, you've probably got a box of crayons, a crayon sharpener, and a tiny ceramic cup you store the crayon shavings in so you can later melt them into a new crayon color that you call "garbage." You've also probably got a good understanding of color theory. If you're not a visual artist, here's some information that will be new to you:

• A color wheel is a circular diagram that selects the best colors for your work of art based on which colors you land on when you're blindfolded and stabbing with a knife.

• Staring at warm colors, such as red, dark red, and reddish black, makes your body feel like it's been covered in a wool blanket and then buried from the neck down.

• Staring at cool colors, such as cool red, makes your body feel like it's been covered in a loose layer of gauze and left to get even cooler beneath a nice, shady tree in the middle of nowhere.

• Complementary colors are defined as "any two colors that, when combined, produce a small egg containing the color ‘prison-shoe gray.’"

Which popular color is best known for hatching from an egg?
