Past Events

In response to the devastating earthquake that struck the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, the Pitt community, as well as our neighbors affected by this event, will gather together in the Global Hub. Together, we will share stories about and connections with this beautiful country and unite in compassion. Moroccan tea, pastries, and dates will be offered.

Come meet international students, make friends, practice conversational English, and have fun together during these weekly discussion groups coordinated by the English Language Institute. Feel free to bring your lunch :)

Create a puppet and help welcome Little Amal to Pittsburgh! The puppets we make will take part in a theatrical performance during the arrival of Little Amal to Pittsburgh later this month. The workshop will be led by Cheryl Capezzuti.
Cheryl Capezzuti is a sculptor and puppetmaker who has been making interactive and community-sourced arts experiences in Pittsburgh for more than 25 years. Her work ranges from large scale parades requiring 500 volunteers to activate, to gallery installations of sculptural work made of discards from the lives of everyday people.

The Alliance for Learning in World History is accepting applications for a Workshop for Educators to be held during the World History Association’s Annual Conference at the University of Pittsburgh. The two-day professional development workshop is sponsored by the Alliance for Learning in World History (ALWH) and the World History Center at the University of Pittsburgh. The Alliance will cover the conference registration fee, the cost of joining the WHA, and apartment-style dorm housing on the University of Pittsburgh campus for two nights. Accepted participants will also receive a $250 stipend at the end of the conference. This stipend is intended to defray the costs of travel to Pittsburgh.
Applications are welcome from educators at all levels who would like to explore how to teach and talk about "energies" in their classroom. The theme of Energies is intended to include the widest range of topics and geographic locales, ranging from energy technologies (from muscle power to solar cells), to energy and globalization, to teaching in a time of climate change, and even to energy as a metaphor for charisma or other social dynamics.
Applications are due January 20! For more information, visit worldhistory.pitt.edu or contact alwh@pitt.edu.
