This week-long seminar on The Ohio State University campus aims to inform K-12 teachers on a different theme each year related to issues in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. The seminar will deepen teachers’ understanding of the different issues and challenges related to the theme facing society now and in the future, and through pedagogical training enable the incorporation of this new content into their curricula. Some countries will be used as case studies to examine particular problems, how these countries are attempting to address the problems, and an analysis of the potential outcomes.
