Title: Arab Arts & Culture Course for Educators 2015
Body:
From http://www.albustanseeds.org/upcoming-events/arab-arts-culture-course-for-educators-2015/
In July Al-Bustan is pleased to offer another professional development course for Music and Arabic Language Educators. The course is designed to encourage cross-disciplinary teaching and integrate Arab arts and cultural themes across music and language curricula.
Participants will obtain hands-on training with educational resources on aspects of Arab arts and culture. As past participants have noted the need for more beginner-level material, the course will include a repertoire of songs that can be used for a range of skill-levels, ages, as well as mixed-heritage classrooms. In addition to educational resources, instructors will provide participants with a basic understanding of the literary and musical traditions of the Arab World, with an emphasis placed on Al-Andalus. This thematic focus will tie in to a major project “Words Adorned: Andalusian Poetry and Music” that Al-Bustan is implementing in 2015 — the material developed for this project will be incorporated in the course.
Dates: July 27 – 31, 2015
Time: 9:00 am – 5:15 pm, with evening performance on 7/31, optional evening program
Location: University of Pennsylvania’s Greenfield Intercultural Center, 3708 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA
