Study Tour for Teachers: Educating Educators about the Middle East
Summer 2011 – sign up by March 1, 2011
To many Westerners, the people, politics and religions of the Middle East remain mysterious, confounding, and even dangerous. Our intrinsic cultural fear of the “other” is partly to blame for this mistrust; the narrow lens of the Western media, which tends to focus primarily on the negative and sensational, is another factor. The aim of this course is to circumvent these fears and selective reports by providing educators with first-hand exposure to and interaction with the people, culture, history and educational systems of the Middle East—Muslim, Christian and Jewish--in order to break down stereotypes and misconceptions about the region. Participants will visit schools, meet and exchange ideas with other teachers (both local and expatriate) and attend lectures aimed at broadening their understanding of what it means to live and learn in the Middle East. Visits to historic sites—including mosques, churches and synagogues--will focus on the shared monotheistic traditions of the peoples of the Middle East, and place the Arab-Israeli conflict into historical perspective. Participants taking the course for credit will submit a follow-up report or praxis on how they will incorporate material from the trip into their curricula.
