The National Museum of American Diplomacy (NMAD) is proud to announce a series of virtual teacher workshops designed to commemorate the upcoming United States Semiquincentennial. These workshops will explore the crucial role of diplomacy throughout American history, showcasing its vital and often unsung contribution to the nation’s enduring legacy
In these virtual workshops, NMAD educators will dive into key moments in diplomatic history during and following the American Revolution, examining the intersection of diplomacy and American history. NMAD will also highlight educational resources to aid in the America 250 celebration.
Is the declaration a foreign policy document? What is the enduring legacy of the declaration around the world? This one-hour session will explore the declaration’s significance as a foreign policy document and its legacy around the world.
How did diplomacy help the colonies win the American Revolution? The treaties created during the American Revolution highlight the ways diplomacy can help win wars, develop friendships, and create enduring legacies. In this session, NMAD will highlight three treaties—France, Lenape Nation, and Great Britain—and explore their significance for both the American Revolution and the broader history of diplomacy.
After winning the Revolutionary War, what was next for the United States? How does a new nation survive in a global economy? In this one-hour session, NMAD will explore the economic challenges confronting the newly independent United States and the crucial role of diplomacy in establishing a viable American economy.
All workshop sessions are tailored to 6th to 12th-grade teachers. However, all educators are welcome to sign up and attend! These workshops will be hosted through Zoom. The password will be sent directly to your email upon submission.
