Global Perspectives Workshop for Educators: The Himalayas
VIEW EVENT DETAILSIn Collaboration with World Affairs Council - Houston
The Himalayas are an essential element of South Asia, not just because of the geographical prowess of the mountain range. The five bordering nations — Bhutan, China, India, Nepal and Pakistan — all depend on the Himalayas for resources, making territorial disputes a constant. This workshop will cover a variety of current topics that should be taught in social studies classrooms, including:
- The importance of the Himalayas
- Key resources provided by the mountain range
- Cultural and political effects of the Himalayas
Teachers will walk away with ready-to-use lesson plans, resources, and ideas for classroom activities.
