Recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month

Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrated annually in the United States from September 15 to October 15, is a tribute to the diverse Hispanic and Latine communities that have shaped the nation's history and continue to do so today. During this month-long celebration, people of all backgrounds come together to honor Hispanic and Latine Americans' traditions, art, cuisine, music, and achievements. It's a time to recognize these communities' profound impact on the United States and embrace their unique stories and contributions.

Explore a collection of past SXSW EDU sessions that continue to inspire and create impact in the future of education.
