Institute for Middle East Studies

IMES Outreach Program

The Institute for Middle East Studies Outreach Program seeks to provide K-12 educators from metropolitan Washington, DC, with access to resources, scholars, and tools on the Middle East. We hope to assist educators in teaching this important region by moving beyond the headlines to provide an in-depth and interdisciplinary look at the Middle East.

Funded through the U.S. Department of Education's Title VI grant, this program will provide no cost workshops and resources to area educators.
