YPIN – Global Education, Local Schools – A Panel Discussion. Why do international issues matter in education today?”

We live in a diverse region, with people from all over the world forming our communities, networks, and families. In a time where policies and politics are increasingly global but less than half of the US population has a passport, where do international issues fit in our educational system? How much of a role does educational curriculum play in impacting our views on international topics? Come hear the thoughts of our distinguished panel and join in the discussion!
