The Teach Europe Coalition offers yearly seminars at Rutgers,
Columbia, Yale, and elsewhere that provide participants with fair and
updated information about the European Union, its multicultural
nature, its recent history, economy, role, and impact on today's
world, and its relations with the United States. It is a unique
chance for educators to meet specialists of European life and culture
and of the European Union and to exchange knowledge and experience. A
pedagogical resources kit, for direct classroom use, is given to all
participants. THIS YEAR, THE RESOURCES GIVEN OUT AT THE YALE EVENT

teachers of Social Studies, Art, History, Geography, French, German,

by a convivial European lunch and a panel discussion to open up the
debate. At every seminar day, participants will work with professors
and will be exposed to innovative teaching strategies.
