From the Gilder Lehrman website:

"The Declaration of Independence of 1776 announced the entry of the United States onto the world stage and inaugurated a new genre of document that would be used by various groups in the following centuries to herald their arrival among "the Powers of the Earth." This seminar views the American Declaration from three global perspectives: first, by placing 1776 into the context of contemporary international and global connections; second, by examining the legacy of the Declaration in the century after 1776; and third, by analyzing other declarations of independence since 1776 for their debts to—and divergences from—the American model. The result should be an enriched understanding of the importance of the Declaration in world history, as well as a novel account of what was truly revolutionary about the American Revolution."

From the Gilder Lehrman website:

"Ten teachers from the United States will join twenty teachers from the United Kingdom and Ghana to study the history and legacies of the Transatlantic Slave Trade under the direction of professors from the United Kingdom and the United States. The seminar will cover the history of African-European contact, the nature of African societies in the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries, the slave trading practices in Africa, the impact of the slave trade on regions of Africa, the character of the coastal trade in the forts and castles, the experience of the Middle Passage, and the numbers and experience of African arrivals in the Americas. Participants will be introduced to major scholarship as well as to the new online Transatlantic Slave Trade Database."

From the Gilder Lehrman website:

"Between ca. 1500 and ca. 1800, the lands bordering the Atlantic Ocean saw the creation, destruction, and re-creation of communities as a result of the movement of peoples, commodities, institutions, social practices, and cultural values. This seminar will explore the pan-Atlantic webs of association linking people, objects, and beliefs across and within the region. The best Atlantic history is interactive and crosses borders. The hope is that we will enlarge our horizons by placing the standard early North American story in a larger framework."

From the National Museum of the American Indian website:

From the Facing History and Ourselves workshop:

"Educators planning to tour the [Choosing to Participate] exhibition are encouraged to attend this workshop to help deepen their students' experience through the exploration of content and related themes."

From the Facing History and Ourselves website:

"Produced by Facing History and Ourselves alumnae Mikaela Beardsley, Reporter is a feature documentary about Nicholas Kristof, the two-time Pulitzer-Prize-winning columnist for the New York Times, who almost singlehandedly put the crisis in Darfur on the world map. The film puts the viewer in Kristof's pocket, revealing the man and his methods, and just how and why real reporting is vital to our democracy, our world-awareness, and our capacity to be a force for good.

The workshop is in two parts. Part 1 (4:30-6:30 pm) will be an educator workshop focused on pedagogy. Part 2 (7:00-9:00 pm) will include the film presentation. A light dinner will be served between the two parts."

From the Facing History and Ourselves website:

"This film [The Reckoning] chronicles the battle for the establishment of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in response to mass atrocities around the world in the late 20th century. The Reckoning follows ICC Prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo and his team for three years across the four continents as he issues arrest warrants for Lord's Resistance Army leaders in Uganda, puts Congolese warlords on trial, shakes up the Colombian justice system, and charges Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir with genocide in Darfur. This film is an important addition to Facing History's collection of classroom resources that deal with questions of justice after genocide.

The workshop is in two parts. Part 1 (4:30-6:30 pm) will be an educator workshop focused on pedagogy. Part 2 (7:00-9:00 pm) will include the film presentation. A light dinner will be served between the two parts."

From the Facing History and Ourselves website:

"Facing History and Ourselves materials help students understand the steps that have led to genocide and collective violence. After confronting these histories, students are often hungry to explore questions of justice and respect for human rights.

We are eager to bring the Facing History and Ourselves network together to share best practices and new resources that look at issues of justice and human rights in the present day. Seeking Common Ground, the Colorado Coalition for Genocide Awareness and Action, and others will share resources and insights, along with an array of new and exciting resources from the Facing History library."

From the Facing History and Ourselves website:

"Facing History is working in close partnership with Skylight Pictures to bring the documentary film The Reckoning: The Battle for the International Criminal Court, and additional film modules into classrooms around the globe.

Educators are invited to join this free online workshop about the International Criminal Court. The workshop will highlight the various ways these films, and the website (ijcentral.org), can be used with students to explore both the history of the International Criminal Court and various questions around justice in a global society."
