Fall 2024 Virtual Teaching Diplomacy Workshops

Are you interested in bringing the world into your classroom? Do you want to inspire your students to be globally engaged? The National Museum of American Diplomacy (NMAD) is here to help with our fall virtual teacher workshops!

In the one-hour session, we will share how to introduce and incorporate diplomacy and global perspectives into your curriculum with our video products, classroom activities, lessons, an online interactive, and our highly popular diplomacy simulation program.

Through these free resources, we give educators and students the language and skills of diplomats. Our resources incorporate 21st-century skills that encourage global competencies, knowledge, and attitudes, which will empower students to consider new perspectives and become engaged citizens.

The same workshop will be offered on seven different dates and times:

  • Thursday, September 5, 2024, 1:00 – 2:00 pm EDT
  • Wednesday, September 18, 2024, 5:00 – 6:00 pm EDT
  • Monday, October 7, 2024, 3:30 – 4:30 pm EDT

  • Tuesday, October 22, 2024, 5:00 – 6:00 pm EDT
  • Wednesday, November 13, 2024, 4:00 – 5:00 pm EST

The workshop is tailored to 6th to 12th-grade teachers, but all educators are welcome to attend.

These workshops will be hosted through Zoom. The password will be sent directly to your email upon application submission and approval.

Workshops will include:

  • Introduction to diplomacy and the work of the State Department, which teachers can integrate into classroom instruction.
  • Walk through of NMAD’s free educational materials, including activities, videos, and defining terms and ideas.
  • Introduction to NMAD’s Diplomacy Simulation Program, including the purpose and how to implement it in the classroom.
