Abstract	This project was initiated in 46 school districts to provide a secondary level course in world cultures. Data for the control and experimental groups were analyzed in regard to socioeconomic status, ability, and grade levels. The original objectives are given along with implementation plan, evaluation method, data, and data analysis. Among these objectives were: to increase interest and understanding in intercultural affairs; to improve attitudes toward members of other cultures; to develop an interdisciplinary approach and materials for the world cultures course; and to provide contact with people of other cultures. Project outcomes and implications included: development of materials for a senior high cultures course; measurement of attitude change; initiation of a curriculum library; refinement of a curriculum development model; continuation of the use of resource people; and creation of a similar course at the junior high level. The shortcomings, materials developed for the project, and dissemination activities are listed. A discussion of the future of the project is followed by an appendix containing sample lesson plans and evaluation devices. A related document is ED 073 999. (KSM)
