The Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies welcomed K-14 educators to participate in the summer 2021 EU Policy Forum, co-sponsored by the European Union’s Erasmus+ Program. This one-day master teacher workshop was particularly geared toward middle school, high school, and community college educators, and focused on contemporary issues in the European Union.

• Tricky tradeoffs between sustainability and economics in the EU

Educators and students will have in-depth access to tools and resources centering the impacts of climate change in the EU; innovations in renewable energy; the European Green Deal in relation to the UN's SDGs; and more!
