CHICAGO MATTERS: Education Matters

Global Education


May 22, 2001
While social studies is instrumental in shaping how students view the world and their own communities, it often does not receive the same attention as reading and math. In spite of this, there are innovative programs throughout the city that are helping students engage with international affairs. The Berlin Study Abroad Program for Chicago high school juniors and Seward Student Network, a morning TV news program, are two such programs. Chicago Public Radio's Andrea Wenzel visited with participants and organizers of both programs during her Chicago Matters report.
