The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and PBS LearningMedia will host a series of blended online and in-person conversations about ancient civilizations with high school students, the first of which will take place on Wednesday, October 22. This blended discussion will include high school students from the School Without Walls in Washington, D.C., and Sagesse High School in Beirut, Lebanon for a dialogue about the rich identity and history of ancient Mesopotamia and State Department-sponsored preservation projects in the region. This program builds on the United States’ commitment to protecting and preserving the cultural heritage of the Middle East and our shared legacy in its history. Ancient and historic monuments, objects, and archaeological sites of the world enrich and inform today's societies, connect us to our cultural origins, and form our identities worldwide. During the program, a State Department expert will answer questions from U.S. and Lebanese students. This conversation will be moderated by PBS LearningMedia and is produced by the Department’s Collaboratory. A recording of the program and additional multimedia content will be available on PBS LearningMedia, a free media-on-demand service offering educators access to thousands of standards-aligned digital resources designed specifically for classroom use. Tune into the discussion live at 10:30 a.m. EDT, Wednesday, October 22: http://goo.gl/HgrRgw.
