2025 Teachers’ Workshop
November 27, 2025 at 8:00 AM to 2:15 PM
| Location: | 2017 FASS Lounge, 20th floor Dunton Tower |
| Cost: | Free |
The Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence at the Centre for European Studies is hosting the 2025 Teachers’ Workshop to strengthen a teacher’s knowledge about teaching the European Union (EU) with presentations on the history of the EU, the EU as a global actor, relations between the EU and Canada, Russia-EU-NATO relations, the EU’s Eastern policy and enlargement, and provide a demonstration of the newly updated lesson plan focused on the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
This event is held specifically for high school teachers in the Ottawa area who are interested in expanding their knowledge of the European Union’s history, politics, and global role. We aim to provide educators with up-to-date resources and insights that will support the inclusion of European topics in high school curriculums.
