SUMMARY:Exploring the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in Economics Courses
DESCRIPTION:Virtual event register here \nUsing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Principles of Economics or Survey of Economics courses can help students bring the global local.  By engaging students with activities and assignments introducing them to the SDGs\, students explore how countries\, governments\, businesses\, consumers\, and individuals make continual economic choices either aligned with or in opposition to the goals.  A supplemental\, yet informal\, curriculum module presents ideas and activities to explore each of the 17 SDGs within the context of learning fundamental economic principles. By integrating these ideas into economics courses\, students can gain a deeper understanding of how economic principles intersect with global sustainability challenges and how economic analysis can help be part of the solution to these challenges.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2 pm-245 pm Eastern\n1-1:45 Central\nnoon-12:45  Mountain\n11- am-11:45 am Pacific\n\n\nJanet Scott teaches Economics\, International Business\, and Intro to Global Studies at Southeast Community College. Janet grew up in Kenya\, has travelled to 48 different countries\, and has a passion for helping students explore new perspectives and find global connections. Janet has served on the SCC Global Education Team for ten years\, and in 2016 was co-leader for SCC’s service-learning trip to Kenya. Over the last 6 years\, Janet has worked with the Midwest Institute for International/Intercultural Education to develop and share curriculum modules to integrate international content into Principles of Economics courses.

SUMMARY:Climate Change and Sustainable Development in Africa
DESCRIPTION:In person at the University of Minnesota. \nThis is a Title VI  African Studies Initiative Summer. \nThe vulnerability of the African continent to climate change cannot be overstated. According to a recent article\, “due to the widespread impacts of climate change” Africa is “losing 5% to 15% of its gross domestic product growth annually. Seventeen of the twenty countries most affected by climate change are located in Africa.” The purpose of this institute is to share current knowledge\, resources\, and ideas about climate change mitigation\, climate change adaptation\, and climate justice in Africa with educators to enable them to develop classroom materials that they will use in their various curricula. We will examine multiple case studies on the African continent to learn how Africans are focusing on solutions to the changes they experience. \nInvited Guest Speakers: \n\nDr. Lydia Kitonga\, Head of the Department of Agricultural Sciences\, Kisii University\, Kenya\nDr. Judith Odhiambo\, Head of the Department of Agricultural Education and Extension\, Kisii University\, Kenya\nDennis Mugambi- Graduate Student\, College of Food and Agricultural Science\, UMN\nChidi Chidozie – Hennepin County Master Gardener\nDr. Teddie M. Potter – Clinical Professor\, Director of Planetary Health\, UMN\nMelvine Anyango Otieno – Founder\, Planetary Health East Africa Hub\, PHD Candidate at MLU Halle (Saale)

SUMMARY:Schools for the Planet Summer Institute
DESCRIPTION:Toward Universal Climate Literacy with Children’s Literature and Media \nIn this three-day in person summer school\, literacy educators Drs. Nick Kleese\, Jana Lo Bello Miller\, and Stephanie Rollag Yoon will help you bring climate literacy education into your classroom. Educators at all grade levels and all content areas are welcome. \nYou will learn why traditional climate change education (CCE)\, focused on scientific and environmental facts\, is inadequate to address the social\, racial\, and political dimensions of climate change. You will explore climate literacy as a broader competence that focuses primarily on developing attitudes and values aligned with how we should live to respect our planetary home. You will come away with teaching materials for your specific classroom. Participants will receive free CEUs\, a picturebook\, resource kit\, and more.

SUMMARY:The Importance of Global Workforce Skills
DESCRIPTION:In person institute in Minnesota sponsored by the International and African Title VI Centers at the University of Minnesota. \nAccording to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Development\, “Exports of manufactured goods\, services\, and agricultural commodities to foreign countries are an extremely important part of Minnesota’s economy\, accounting for $33 billion in revenue annually and tens of thousands of jobs statewide.” Meanwhile\, Minnesota’s population continues to diversify. Therefore\, CTE instructors must prepare their students to compete\, connect\, and cooperate in a global economy and within their diverse communities.  \nYou will leave this interactive\, hands-on training with an understanding of which workforce readiness skills are important for success in the global economy and how to integrate them into what you are already teaching\, while meeting your required standards. We will work with you to integrate global content into your courses and share examples of engaging CTE projects as well as free online professional development courses and tools. Employer perspectives will be shared by a panel of local business leaders.   \nHeld in person on campus at the University of Minnesota West Bank. 9:00 am-4 pm\, June 10-11\, 2024

SUMMARY:KITA Lessons for American Preschools
DESCRIPTION:We are looking for students\, administrators\, educators\, community leaders and practitioners to join this special opportunity investigating preschool programs with high populations of immigrant children in Germany in order to impact our Minnesota preschool programs. First time international travelers and those reflecting Minnesota’s increasingly diverse student population are encouraged to apply. \nAccepted participants will join Deborah Jane from the Institute for Global Studies and Ann Besser retired faculty from North Hennepin Community College to delve into KITAs of Germany\, with a focus on the preschool immigrant experience. KITA’s are German daycares for children under 6. Through site visits to German nursery schools and daycare centers\, KITA Lessons for American Preschools will teach participants about the educational foundations of early childhood education\, both the practical applications and best practices\, but also about pitfalls and problems encountered by German initiatives. Moreover\, the proposal aims at fostering professional relationships between the American participants and their German colleagues. \nFrom visiting KITAs in Berlin\, Brandenburg and Erfurt\, participants will learn about the ways each state runs their KITAs while having time with colleagues to experience local cultural sites. Through this intensive study tour participants will continue on their journeys to better Minnesota preschools. \nAccepted applicants will have their airfare\, in-country travel\, travel insurance and lodging covered for this experience.  Program participants will be responsible for meals and incidentals. \nApplication deadline January 31\, 2024

DESCRIPTION:January 26\, 2024 \n\n2:00 pm-3:00 pm Eastern\n1:00 pm-2:00pm Central\n12pm-1:00 pm Mountain\n11:00 am-12:00 pm Pacific\n\nPlease join us for a special January session of our Global Studies Virtual Symposium\, an event that connects global studies scholars and educators across community college campuses nationwide. The symposium offers an engaging teaching and learning forum for sharing best practices\, ideas\, and resources with colleagues. \nBeginning in the spring of 2016\, Dr Amy Magnus created a new course at South Central College entitled: Dakota History\, Culture and Language. This course had several goals: to teach the Dakota history and culture\, to introduce students to the Dakota language\, (with an Upper Sioux tribal member) and to engage in some sort of trip/service learning opportunity on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Over seventy-five students took part in this experience and were introduced to Lakota culture\, visited historic sites like the Wounded Knee Massacre Memorial\, and spent a day volunteering at one of the reservation elementary schools. This presentation will discuss this experience. \nDr. Amy Magnus has been teaching at South Central College in North Mankato\, Minnesota\, for over twenty years. With a Ph.D. in Multi-Cultural literature from Case Western Reserve University and a credential in American Indian Studies\, she has created the American Indian Studies courses at the college. Teaching these courses as well as film\, English classes\, and American Racial Minorites\, Dr. Magnus works to share these cultures with her students both in and out of the classroom.  As the coordinator of the SCC Global Conference\, a large two-day event that occurs every two years\, she has worked to bring artists\, musicians\, and speakers from other cultures and backgrounds to the campus. She has also created courses that seek to include learning outside the classroom\, such as an Indigenous Cuisine course she created for SCC’s Culinary Program\, and the course she will be talking about today\, Dakota History\, Culture and Language\, a class that includes a service-learning opportunity and trip to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.

SUMMARY:China-Africa Contemporary Relations:  a Summer Institute for Educators
DESCRIPTION:China’s ascendancy as a dominant economic and political global power has been the subject of much scholarly and political debate. More specifically\, China’s renewed interest in Africa continues to beg the question\, what is China’s Africa strategy or Africa – China Strategy? Some scholars suggest that China’s strategic interests in Africa are purely economic\, resource extraction\, and exploitation\, which has led to renewed concerns about neo-colonialism. Other questions raised include how this arrangement will benefit African countries engaged with China. This course seeks to examine these issues and better understand how China’s engagement in Africa may have a consequential impact on the continent. \nDates: June 26-29\, 2023 \nTime: 9 am-1:30 pm CDT \nRegistration fee: free (includes parking\, lunch and all materials) \nRegistration plus on-campus housing for June 25-29\, 2023:  $275  \nRegistration deadline: June 12\, 2023\, or until full \nRegistration link: https://z.umn.edu/chinaafrica \nCEUs: 20 contact hours \nWhere: In person\, University of Minnesota West Bank\, Minneapolis MN

SUMMARY:Schools for the Planet:  Toward Universal Climate Literacy with  Children’s Literature and Media
DESCRIPTION:Led by Dr. Nick Kleese\, Dr. Jana Lo Bello Miller\, Dr. Stephanie Rollag Yoon \nDates: June 20-22\, 2023 \nTime: 9:00 am-1:30 pm \nCost: Free (includes resources) \nCost with dorm lodging from June 18-22\, 2023: $275 \nRegistration link: https://z.umn.edu/climatelit \nWe are a climate-illiterate civilization that has sleepwalked into climate breakdown\, biodiversity crash\, and unprecedented social inequalities that exacerbate planetary ecocide. To turn this around\, we need to transform our wealth-based\, extractive civilization into a sustainable and equitable ecological civilization. This transition requires that we build universal climate literacy. It makes our classrooms ground zero for this effort.  \nIn this three-day summer school\, literacy educators Nick Kleese\, Jana Lo Bello Miller\, and Stephanie Rollag Yoon will guide you to engage with pedagogical practices of envisioning\, embodying\, and enacting climate literacy education in your classroom. You will learn why traditional climate change education (CCE)\, focused on scientific and environmental facts\, is inadequate to address the social\, racial\, and political dimensions of climate change. You will explore climate literacy as a broader competence that includes climate science but focuses primarily on developing attitudes and values aligned with how we should live to respect our planetary home. You will learn why stories for young people—in books\, films\, games\, and other narrative media—are the best technology for the social transformation that ensures everyone’s future: a technology that makes climate literacy accessible to every student everywhere. \nThis summer school will be offered in person on the East Bank of the University of Minnesota from 9:00 am-1:30 pm on Tuesday\, June 20th\, Wednesday\, June 21st\, and Thursday\, June 22.
