We offer free resources on international areas and regions - many designed especially for Michigan's K-14 community. These include

  • Experiential Teaching Kits
  • Educational Newspaper Supplements
  • Resource Libraries
  • Curriculum Development Tools
  • Detailed Information on Web Resources
  • Information on Cultural Performers for School Visits
  • Free On-campus Public Programs
  • 2007-2008 Festivals Around Our World Calendar

Each regional center of the International Institute has a dedicated Outreach Coordinator, who can connect you and your classroom with our resources and UM's leading faculty experts.
