The Incubator partnered with Harvard University’s Global Studies Outreach Committee and Project Zero to co-sponsor the third annual workshop for high school educators. The [Global Studies Outreach Committee](http://globalstudiesoutreach.harvard.edu/) (GSOC) is a collaborative effort among regional and international Harvard centers to help K-12 teachers, community college instructors, as well as the general public, explore the complex nature of our world through a global, multi-disciplinary lens. The 2015 summer workshop, “*Global Migration in the 21st Century: Understanding How and Why People Move,*” was held over four days in August and attracted more than 40 teachers from across the country to learn more and to engage in deep conversation and reflection on global migration. Participants also considered how to incorporate this topic in their classrooms through the use of teaching pedagogy developed by Project Zero.

The Incubator—as the only co-sponsoring organization representing global health—actively participated in all aspects of workshop planning, developed original materials and program activities, and contributed workshop funding to the GSOC. Two Incubator staff participated (alongside representatives from each of the other sponsoring organizations) in four 2-hour seminar-style discussion sessions sponsored by Project Zero to gain an understanding of that group’s global learning resources and methods. The Incubator’s primary liaison to GSOC, Rachel Gordon, also represented the Incubator in weekly sessions working on all aspects of programmatic planning, and facilitated a Learning Group.

Learning materials created by the Incubator included a short video on how to apply a global health framework to migration studies in the classroom (developed by Incubator Director Sue J. Goldie), and an annotated bibliography on teaching health in migration studies across multiple disciplines.
