CEA Introduces New Global Issues Seminars

CEA – Global Education is very pleased to announce the launch of its first Global Issues Seminar (GIS) for faculty. We know that faculty need first-hand experience abroad to support their in-class innovations, and as the second decade of the 21st century opens, higher education is wrestling with ways to further incorporate environmental sustainability into the undergraduate curriculum. Therefore, CEA is using one of its key strengths—the global city—as the platform for this discussion.

Our first Global Issues Seminar will address the sustainability issues facing Spain as a whole with a particular focus on Madrid. The seminar will be held at CEA’s Global Campus in Madrid and will draw on a wide range of experts in government, advocacy and academia to bring the challenges of Spain’s environmental agenda into focus. Participants will hear from a Madrid City Council Member, Greenpeace Spain, urban specialists, and academic counterparts. They also will visit key sustainability centers in the area.

The goal of the seminars is to provide meaningful professional development experiences that enable faculty members to move in new directions and revise current courses to involve salient global issues.

Join us for what promises to be an exciting and enlightening 10 days in Madrid this June 13-22. For more information, visit www.gowithcea.com
