Abstract: Eclipse Ambassadors was an extremely ambitious project. Planning to connect and train hundreds of people across the country, the project team knew that the Ambassadors themselves and the people they engaged with would all be from diverse backgrounds. How can people from various cultures and perspectives understand and respect each other? Three resources were created to address this issue: a Moon Celebrations Calendar poster, a multilingual welcoming video, and a collection of cards sharing cultural eclipse tellings. These are discussed in turn, sharing tips along the way.
