2019 Teachers’ Workshop
November 7, 2019 at 8:00 AM to 2:30 PM

| Cost: | Free |
We are inviting the participation of high school teachers from across the three local school boards: Upper Canada District School Board, Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, and Ottawa Catholic School Board to attend the annual one-day Teachers’ Workshop.
Designed to assist with their classroom programming, our goal is to augment teachers knowledge of the major political, economic, and cultural challenges facing the EU and European countries, as well as Canada-Europe relations.
The workshop presentations will include an overview of the history of the EU and enriched modules on a range of topics which may include:
- Causes and consequences of Brexit
- EU trade relations
- The recently signed Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between Europe and Canada
- EU responses to the refugee crisis
- EU and the right-wing populist movement
- EU and the law
