The theme of this teacher education abroad program\u00c2\u00a0 will be Greece: Citizenship, Diversity, Immigration in Education<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the economic benefits of immigration is that the diversity of the population is enhanced. Diversity, it is argued, enriches the environment in which individuals live and trade and may contribute to greater creativity. What does diversity mean? Do current immigration policies enhance diversity? To the extent that there are gains from diversity, they come through the interaction of individuals from one culture or background with individuals from another. A good partner in the interaction has different skills, has skills that are relevant to one’s own activity, and is a person with whom one can communicate. The curriculum promotes reflection on the value of diverse perspectives about immigrant experiences not only in the United States but in Greece as well as in other nations. The underlying goal is for students to understand that there are various states with a variety of backgrounds. These immigrants and refugees have different reasons for coming to the United States and Greece and have unique stories about their journeys.<\/p>\n
