Developed in 1995 as an international education partnership, LATTICE links six school districts  in mid-Michigan with international graduate students/scholars at Michigan State  University.  

LATTICE concentrates on adult learning and promotes practical links to K-12 classrooms. LATTICE members meet for presentations, discussions, food, and music. Topics range from the personal to the global, from "What is home?" to "What is world hunger?"

LATTICE does not deliver cursory information about countries, but involves dynamic interaction on issues that concern educators throughout the world.
