Here are several great opportunities for educators!
(Full list of summer opportunities will be available shortly. But wanted to share these with you all as many of them have deadlines approaching!) First...LARC has two exciting summer institutes - SAVE THE DATE! (details and application still to come): 1) Annual Summer Teacher Institute to Cuba (located in Havana, Cuba) - June 17 - July 1, 2017 2) Somos Nos: Teacher Institute on Brazil (located in Athens, GA) - June 19 - June 23, 2017 In collaboration with Vanderbilt University and the University of Georgia. Then... here are a couple other exciting opportunities (either fully funded or greatly reduced price) provided by our colleagues at The Ohio State University to the Andes and the Department of Ed. Fulbright-Hays Seminars (one to Chile!): 3) Teaching the Andes: Redefining the Common Good and Reclaiming the Public Square - June 16 - July 16, 2017 The Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS) at The Ohio State University is excited to announce its fully-funded, four-week summer program for K-12 educators to experience the Andes! CLAS received a grant from the Fulbright-Hays Groups Projects Abroad (GPA) Program in the U.S. Department of Education to fund a seminar for K-12 educators titled "Teaching the Andes: Redefining the Common Good and Reclaiming the Public Square". This program will take twelve educators in various disciplines to Ecuador and Peru from June 16-July 16, 2017. The grant will cover the majority of costs for the program, and participants will only be required to pay for expenses related to a pre-departure orientation in Columbus, Ohio. clas@osu.eduhttp://clas.
4) Fulbright Hays-Seminars Abroad
The Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad Program provides short-term seminars abroad for U.S. educators in the social sciences and humanities to improve their understanding and knowledge of the peoples and cultures of other countries. Each seminar features educational lectures and activities specifically designed for the group, including visits to local schools and organizations, meetings with teachers and students, and visits to cultural sites. Participants draw on their experiences during the program to create new, cross-cultural curricula for their classrooms and school systems back in the U.S.
In 2017, summer programs will be offered in Bulgaria, Chile, and Thailand. A total of 48 awards are available (sixteen per program). The program covers airfare, room and board, and program costs. Teacher participants are responsible for a cost-share of $600.
