| Multicultural Calendars |
|
Over the last decade, in the spirit of mutual understanding and respect, International Training and Development, LLC has produced an annual Multicultural Calendar. While we are no longer producing our calendar, we would like to recommend four key sources on which we came to rely. Each of these resources provides insight and information into holidays and sacred days of people from around the world. I hope you enjoy these resources as much as we have.
