OUTREACH |
OVERVIEW |
The primary objective
of outreach for the Center for the Study of Global Change is to serve as
a resource base on international issues to meet the needs of K-12
teachers, post-secondary educators, business professionals, government
officials, media representatives, and the general public at local,
state, and national levels. The
Center encourages the dissemination of information and enhancement of
relations between the US and other parts of the world, focusing
particularly on global and inter-regional issues, problems, and
solutions. In support of
its NRC mission, the Center funds workshops, speakers, library
acquisitions, visiting scholars, conferences, technological innovation,
curriculum development, and graduate fellowships.
Outreach projects geared specifically toward grades K-12 teachers and
students include the International Studies Summer Institutes,
International Studies for Indiana Schools, and Global Speakers Service.
In addition, the Center participates in a wide variety of local,
state, regional, and national conferences and gatherings, each time
bringing a global perspective to the content and activities (see General
Outreach Activities).
