Teaching Academy Webinars
Teachers across the country find themselves challenged by questions about the war in Ukraine, democracy in crises, human rights and the US election. Pupils in Danish schools are influenced by news and media images, and they ask interested and concerned questions. What would your students like to know about these issues? And what would you, as a teacher, like to know more about in order to answer their questions? Watch our webinars designed especially for teachers. (The webinars are in Danish).
Webinar: The US Midterm Elections 2022
The mid-term elections in the US on 8 November 2022 could be a turning point in American politics. All seats in the House of Representatives, and 35 of the 100 seats in the Senate, are up for grabs. Learn more about American politics and its consequences when Humanity in Action invites you to a conversation with Helle Porsdam, Professor of History and Law specialising in contemporary American History (the webinar is in Danish).
Webinar: Europe after the war in Ukraine
With the invasion of Ukraine, Russia has used hard power on a continent that thought this kind of war belonged in the 20th century. What will the war mean for European politics and self-understanding? What will be the long-term consequences? Find out more about the broader meaning of the war in Ukarine in this webinar with Historian Uffe Østergaard.
Webinar: Ukraine - History, Society, Culture
Watch our webinar on Ukrainian society, culture, and history with Director of Ukrainian-Danish Youth House - and Senior Fellow - Julie Arnfred Bojesen. Julie presents key facts about the country's history, culture, language, and society, and answeres questions from teachers.
