Educator's Training Seminar

Unique Opportunity to Learn about the Culture and History of Iran

Lens to Lens, Inc., in association with Ilex Foundation and Teaching for Change, presents an Iranian Film Workshop for middle school, high school, and college educators and librarians specializing in the following disciplines, courses, and programs: Arts/Media, Asian Studies, English, E.S.L., Foreign Language, Middle Eastern Studies, Philosophy, Religion, Social Studies, Telecommunications Specialty Programs, Mock U.N. Sessions, and World Geography.

In as much as Middle Eastern issues have been dominating the mainstream commercial news in recent times, too many U.S. citizens still do not know where Iran is located, and most people, unfortunately, carry a preconceived notion that individuals from Iran are "uncivilized." To offset these misconceptions, international film makes an effective teaching tool for educators and students. Particularly with regard to Iranian cinema, educators and teaching organizations have expressed the view that this program has great educational value and is much needed at this time.
