| Abstract | Education for international understanding is the theme of this conference report. The introduction (by Maitland Stobart) discusses the first phase of the Council of Europe's work on education for international understanding devoted to improving communication and understanding among Europeans. The second, present phase, includes teaching about problems of global development and the way in which other parts of the world are taught in secondary schools in Western Europe. Section two, "The Conference in a Nutshell" (by Fay Metcalf) summarizes the conference proceedings of this five day event. Section three elaborates on the need for learning about Europe in the U.S.A. through the development of a rationale, a definition of Europe, and the development of empathy. Also included is a list of goals, justifications, and content suggestions. Section four presents six European approaches for teaching about the U.S.A. in Europe through four strategies, (1) a pupil-centered and cooperative approach, (2) history, geography, and English as a foreign language, (3) a multi-disciplinary approach, and (4) a topic approach. Five countries, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Scotland, Norway, and Portugal contributed in the development of the six approaches. Section five concludes the conference report by listing (1) the general principles, (2) the goals of teaching about the U.S.A. in Europe, (3) the goals of teaching about Europe in the U.S.A., and (4) the directions for future activities. Appendices present the conference program and list the participants in attendance. (RSL) |
