The Zika outbreak in Latin America, Indigenous healing practices in Mexico, public health in Cuba, and more.

This workshop will introduce teachers to the diverse communities of Latin America and some of their strategies and traditions for promoting health and wellbeing. We will explore the concepts of population, demography, public health, colonialism, worldview, Indigenous medicine, and biomedicine.

The second half of the workshop will focus on strategies for teaching and reinforcing these concepts using visual art. All participants will be eligible to receive/ apply for:

• 6 State Continuing Education Clock Hours (SCECHs)

• A curriculum development grant of up to $200 for books and materials. Applications for these grants will be made available to participants after the workshop.

This program is designed for middle and high school social studies, art, and health teachers, but all are welcome!
