The Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS) at The Ohio State University has announced its fully-funded, four-week summer program for K-12 educators to experience the Andes.
 CLAS received a grant from the Fulbright-Hays Groups Projects Abroad (GPA) Program in the U.S. Department of Education to fund a seminar for K-12 educators titled "Teaching the Andes: Redefining the Common Good and Reclaiming the Public Square."  This program will take twelve educators in various disciplines to Ecuador and Peru from June 16-July 16, 2017. The grant will cover the majority of costs for the program, and participants will only be required to pay for expenses related to a pre-departure orientation in Columbus, Ohio.
  Participants will benefit from a wide variety of activities, explorimg the history, politics, language, and culture of the Andes while developing innovative approaches to teaching and studying the region, in addition to Quechua (Aboriginal) language instruction. 
  To learn more about "Teaching the Andes", please visit the grant website. For questions or concerns, please email Megan Hasting, Assistant Director at the Center for Latin American Studies, at clas@osu.edu.
Deadline for applications is January 13, 2017.
