[LM_NET] GEN: Funded Travel Opportunity to Saudi Arabia

[Kristin <kristinolivia@GMAIL.COM>]

I just received a newsletter from PaCIE (Pennsylvania Council on
International Education), which listed the following opportunity.  It sounds
neat, and an incredible way to learn about part of the Middle East and bring
it to life for students through personal experience!

*Educators to Saudi Arabia Program  *
Applications are now available to participate in a fully-funded, ten-day
study tour of Saudi Arabia. Sponsored by Aramco Services Company, this
professional development opportunity is open to full-time social studies
teachers and library media specialists in grades 1-12.* *The *Educators to
Saudi Arabia Program* aims to cultivate a greater awareness and
understanding of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in U.S. primary and secondary
schools and communities. The Program will examine Saudi education, culture,
history and global relations through site visits, panel discussions, and
cultural activities in the cities of Dhahran, Riyadh, and Jeddah from
November 19–December 3, 2007.**

*The application deadline is June 25, 2007.* Applications are available at
www.iie.org/aramco. For more information, visit the Aramco Services Web site
