The EU and the World: 2008 EU Summer Workshop for High School, Community College, and In-Service Educators.   8:30–4:30 PM. Husky Union Building (HUB) 200. Join faculty from the Jackson School of International Studies to learn about the EU and its relationship with the rest of the world. The changing relationship of Russia with the rest of the world, along with the recent rise of the Asian economies has shifted the balance of power that made the EU and US global economic leaders since World War II. EU development aid to Africa is essential in the fight to end global poverty. The EU-US relationship also continues to evolve and is a crucial link in supporting the economy of the Pacific Northwest. At this workshop, speakers will discuss the current relationship between the EU and the rest of the world: EU, US, and Russia (Former Ambassador Darryl Johnson), China and the West (David Bachman), and Trans-Atlantic Relations (Phil Shekleton). Participants are also invited to a workshop dinner at a local European restaurant. Afternoon language break-out sessions will be offered in English, French, and Spanish. The all-day workshop includes 8 clock hours, meals, parking, and teaching materials. Sponsored by the European Union Center of Excellence and the Center for West European Studies at the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies, with the participation of the Center for Spanish Studies and Alliance Française of Seattle.
