UChicago Educator Outreach invites you to join us for the 14th Annual UChicago International Education Conference: "Beyond the Headlines: The Russia-Ukraine War and its Global Impacts." Our morning session will center on voices from Ukraine, including a high school teacher, so as to better understand the current situation in Ukraine. Our afternoon session will bring together a diverse group of scholars and experts to better contextualize the global impacts of the war on agriculture, energy, and the refugee crisis.
Attendees will receive classroom-ready materials on the Russia-Ukraine War to engage students in this pressing world issue. Illinois educators in attendance will receive CPDU credits for participation.
This conference is presented by the University of Chicago Center for East Asian Studies, Center for East European and Russian/Eurasian Studies, Center for Middle Eastern Studies, and Neighborhood Schools Program with support from Title VI National Resource Center Grants from the U.S. Department of Education.
Persons with disabilities who may need assistance should contact [email protected] in advance.
