creating cultural capital

I had never heard the term cultural capital until a friend explained this to me the other day, capital is defined as stuff such as real estate capital or financial capital so cultural capital is knowing the rules or etiquette's each culture has. I believe this will be quite useful for the youth I work with.
  I am definitely going to incorporate it at my next youth empowerment which is Friday's at the DASH center for the arts on 1504 MLK Jr. Way from 9-11:30pm
