Global humanities curriculum

Dear friends,

=20

Our middle school teachers are planning to expand the 5th and 6th grade
humanities curriculum to include a comparative history of China and
Cordoba, Spain. The themes of religion, feudalism and trade are of
particular interest. The current study is "medieval Europe" and touches
mainly on Britain and Central Europe. Does anyone have recommendations
for contacts at schools that teach a global or cross-cultural curriculum
at this level?

Warm regards,
