Dear Educator,
Current events in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) are complex and rapidly evolving. Within the past week, the world saw a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah and a surprise rebel offensive in Syria.
To help you navigate these topics in your classroom, we’re excited to share our new learning journey, Middle East & North Africa: The Essentials.
In this newsletter, we will explore three sections of the new collection that can provide essential context to the region’s challenges and answer your students’ questions, such as:
- How has U.S. foreign policy evolved in the region?
- What are the issues that drive events across the region?
- What are the cultural, demographic, and societal trends in the Region?
We hope this collection serves as your go-to resource when news in the region breaks and can assist you in empowering your students to have thoughtful and informed discussions.
Happy learning, CFR Education
