2024 Summer Institute in London with K-12 Teachers and Librarians

In partnership with the British Library and the San Mateo County Office of Education, TCSRS and Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad trained 12 educators in London on primary source research about the ancient Silk Road in the 2024 Summer Institute “Cross-cultural Perspectives along the Silk Road.”  Teachers and librarians from California K-12 schools spent four weeks meeting with librarians, curators, and expert faculty from UK universities to study ancient artifacts and manuscripts from China and Central Asia.  Their program culminated in presentations and lesson plans that can be found here.  This short video shows some of the activities experienced by the group.
