Rosetta Stone Celebrates International Culture and Learning with Passport DC
Arlington, Virginia-Based Language-Learning Company Sponsors Third Annual Passport DC Event
Rosetta Stone Inc. (NYSE:RST), a leading provider of technology-based language-learning solutions, today announced its sponsorship of the third annual Passport DC event in Washington D.C. Passport DC is organized by Cultural Tourism DC, an independent nonprofit coalition of more than 230 culture, heritage and community organizations, which develop, deliver and celebrate real experiences for D.C.-area residents and visitors.
“Rosetta Stone is changing the way the world learns languages and is also providing learners with an appreciation and understanding of diverse cultures. Our sponsorship of Passport DC is a natural extension of our commitment to connecting and educating people about the world around them”
Passport DC kicks off May 1 with the Around the World Embassy Tour, where more than 30 embassies, including Japan, Korea, Thailand, Colombia, Brazil and Mexico, will invite the public to taste their delicacies, hear their local music and view the elegant dress of nations from around the globe. Throughout the month of May, Washington D.C. residents and tourists are encouraged to celebrate and sample international culture, art, music, dance and food from the city’s embassies and international cultural centers.
“The goal of Cultural Tourism DC is to begin global conversations that promote curiosity about foreign countries,” said Linda Harper, executive director of Cultural Tourism DC. “Passport DC allows participants to interact with people around the world and we are glad that companies such as Rosetta Stone support our program’s mission to expand communication and understanding on a global scale.”
