From Primary Source: Happy New Year! I hope all of you enjoyed pleasant holidays with
friends and family. I want to let you know that we have a webinar
series beginning on January 18 and we welcome more teachers to
participate. Our Global Action for Social Justice series
will includes sessions on human trafficking, the UN's sustainable
development goals, and sports and human rights. All details are
below — please share with your teachers — they can sign up directly using the link at the bottom of the descriptions. New for this year: with participation in all three sessions (plus an assignment), teachers can earn 10 PDPs.
Global Action for Social Justice

DATES: January 18, February 15, and TBD 2017
TIME: 7:00 p.m. - 8:15 p.m. EST

Our three-part webinar series will introduce educators to global issues unfolding on many continents. This year we explore social justice tools and approaches that include the United Nation’s Global Goals for Sustainable Development, the international effort to eliminate human trafficking, and the global campaign to establish access to sports and play as a human right. Scholar experts will join the conversation to provide context for the issues. Classroom resources will also be shared. Participants may register for one, two or all three sessions but PDPs are only provided for participation in all three. Open to all K-12 educators.
Sports and the “Right to Play”: A Global Human Rights Issue

Led by a Primary Source staff member and K-12 teacher, this webinar provides an introduction to the key components and targets set by the international community to combat some of the world's greatest social, political, and environmental challenges and offers teaching strategies and resources to incorporate these 17 goals into the K-12 classroom.
Human Trafficking
