International Day '96 Workshops and Educational Forum

"MULTIETHNICITY AND CITIZENSHIP"

IMPLICATION FOR INSTRUCTION IN A GLOBAL SOCIETY

The Center for International Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools have joined with Winston-Salem State University's International Programs, Division of Education, and the Office of Academic Affairs to sponsor the annual International Day activities at Winston-Salem State University. The activities will span two (2) days and will, for the first time, include academic sessions.

International Day activities serve as a showcase of the University International Programs' commitment to work with students, faculty and staff to become conscious members of the world community and to generate knowledge essential for this purpose. This 1996 event is designed to address the second specific objective of the University International Programs which is:

To build a solid foundation for the appreciation
of the diverse cultures represented on campus and
in the surrounding community by ensuring that these
cultures appropriately inform learning, instruction,
and inquiry.

The Education Division has set forth as a primary goal of it's Teacher Education Program:

To prepare individuals who are higher order thinkers
able to appreciate diversity and maximize the
educational experience of all children. Moreover it is
the intent of the Division to prepare teachers who are
effective thinkers who can teach thinking strategies.

The Winston-Salem/Forsyth County School System has initiated an African-American Curriculum Infusion Project. This project proposes:

To move toward a more multicultural approach to
education by infusing or integrating more African
and African American content into the North Carolina
Standard Course of Study for Social Studies at all
grade levels (K-12).

The Purpose of the University Center for International Studies at The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill is:

To integrate the university's diverse international
programs and to foster new efforts to meet the
growing needs for international education, research and
service. The Center seeks to nurture interdisciplinary
approaches to international studies, and to foster
collaboration among researchers using different
methodologies and modes of inquiry.
