Migration and Urbanization Patterns in Latin America

Migration and Urbanization Patterns in Latin America

July 23-27, 2012 - Professional development opportunity for K-12 educators interested in incorporating Latin American themes into their curriculum.

The UCLA Latin American Institute announces its latest professional development opportunity for K-12 educators interested in incorporating Latin American themes into their curriculum. “Beyond Borders: Migration and Urbanization Patterns in Latin America” is a 5-day workshop that will consider the historical, social, and economic factors of migration and urbanization in the region and their global effects. Participants will be led by academic experts, providing educators with an overview of cases of migration to, from, and within Latin America and how these processes provide a wealth of information for educators to study and understand the background and experiences of both sending and receiving communities. 

In addition to the rich themes presented in this workshop, participants will benefit from curriculum development sessions that will enhance curriculum materials and develop pertinent lesson plans that can be used in the classroom.
