THIS EVENT IS NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. THIS WORKSHOP IS INTENDED FOR K-12 EDUCATORS
For K-12 teachers who would like a creative approach to bringing a global issue to the classroom. The pilot episode of World on Trial deals with the 2004 French Law banning the conspicuous display of religious symbols in public schools, most notably affecting the right of young Muslim women to wear traditional head scarves or other forms of cover. Workshop participants will watch the episode and hear from experts on the history of law, the significance of the law and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the curriculum and supplementary materials designed for use with the televised program.
