Summer Teacher Workshop:
Environmental Problems and Politics in Europe and Asia University of Wisconsin - Madison Center for European Studies, Center for Russia, East Europe, and Central Asia, Global Studies Program

• June 19 - June 24, 2005
• Teachers, earn one graduate credit! Tuition is covered!

This workshop, intended for teachers of grades 7-12, will focus on key cross-border environmental challenges facing Russia, Central Asia, and the European Union. Because pollution crosses political boundaries, many problems, ranging from the protection of wildlife to the use and conservation of water, cannot be solved by domestic policy alone.

The workshop will also include presentations on an EU simulation model and the WEBB middle school curriculum: World Ecosystems Beyond Borders: an Environmental Curriculum for Wisconsin Students
