Teacher Outreach Conference

Past conferences for teachers

ISEEES holds an annual conference for education professionals on timely topics relating to our Eastern Europe and Eurasia. These conferences are made possible by a Title VI grant from the US Department of Education.

The weekend conference, usually held in the spring, brings together Berkeley faculty and other specialists to give lively and informative presentations. Attendees are provided with a variety of materials—such as bibliographies, timelines, lists of Web sites, background readings, reference maps, and suggestions for curriculum.
