The Title VI National Resource Centers for Middle Eastern and North African Studies and for Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Michigan (U-M) work closely each year to organize the MENA-SEA Teacher Program, a special outreach initiative for Michigan secondary schools.
The program trains educators from across the state in deepening their understanding and appreciation of religious diversity in both Southeast Asia and in the Middle East and North Africa.
Participant Alison Sullivan summed up the experience, stating, “This is the heart of why we all participate in this unique teacher training and outreach program—to enrich our teaching. Having the time to do this together is very beneficial.”
