Three Cups of Tea: Islam and Schooling in Asia
Islam, Asia, Modernity Professional Development for Educators Workshop
Muslim societies in Asia are fast changing, and often at the crossroads of global social, economic and geopolitical conflicts. Long standing educational systems and traditions are evolving in multiple ways as these societies became more integrated into the global economy. Local institutions, national bureaucracies, international non-governmental organizations, and other actors are influencing how schools educate both male and female students.
This workshop will focus on Pakistan, Indonesia and Xinjiang, China, and how different influences are coming to bear on educational systems in these areas.
Join us for this engaging 3 hour workshop intended for educators of grades 6-12.
Each attendee will receive at least 20 copies of Greg Mortenson's award winning book
