Why This Matters
A Cultural Milestone on
the South Side of Chicago
Join us for a powerful moment in Education, Culture, and Community Transformation.
Global Pathways Education and Publishing proudly invites you to the official ribbon-cutting ceremony of our newly launched Mandarin & Culture Studio — a space built to expand world languages, academic excellence, and global opportunity for historically underrepresented students.
This is not just a Ribbon cutting, This is a Cultural Bridge, A bold stand for inclusion, and a declaration that Black children and others deserve access to the world through Language, Economics, and Diplomacy.
With a blend of Eastern and Western ceremonial traditions, the event will feature:
-
A precisely timed 11:08 AM start, honoring the number 8 — a symbol of prosperity in Chinese culture
-
Traditional ribbon cutting and welcome remarks
-
Dumpling tastings, tea sampling, and live calligraphy demonstrations
-
Guided tours of our new studio space
-
An opportunity to connect with fellow educators, civic leaders, and businesspersons alike
Why We’re Inviting You
We’re Building More Than a Studio —
This Isn’t A Moment, It’s a MOVEMENT!
Global Pathways was founded by Rahsaan Liddell, an award-winning educator and international speaker who spent over a decade teaching in China.
​
His mission? To create a path and a pipeline of opportunity through Language, Culture and International Experience starting right here in the Beverly community.
We are calling on:
-
Philanthropists and foundations who believe in global equity
-
Partners and sponsors ready to invest in education and innovation
-
Elected officials and those that influence policy, whom are committed to meaningful, culturally rooted programs
-
Educators and community leaders who understand the importance of language and how it can open doors,
generate empathy and deepen understanding
“Too often, our communities are the last to access global opportunity. Our goal is to mitigate that. I founded
Global Pathways to make sure our kids aren’t left out
of the international conversation.
​
Join me at this ribbon-cutting July 12th, as we open the doors to something both purposeful and powerful at once."
