Teaching Academy Webinars
Teachers across the country find themselves challenged by questions about the war in Ukraine, democracy in crises, human rights and the US election. Pupils in Danish schools are influenced by news and media images, and they ask interested and concerned questions. What would your students like to know about these issues? And what would you, as a teacher, like to know more about in order to answer their questions? Watch our webinars designed especially for teachers. (The webinars are in Danish).
Webinar: The US Midterm Elections 2022
The mid-term elections in the US on 8 November 2022 could be a turning point in American politics. All seats in the House of Representatives, and 35 of the 100 seats in the Senate, are up for grabs. Learn more about American politics and its consequences when Humanity in Action invites you to a conversation with Helle Porsdam, Professor of History and Law specialising in contemporary American History (the webinar is in Danish).
