Teachers' Resources
Special web site for kids from 1st grade up high school level will be launched soon
Around mid September the Public Affairs Section, in collaboration with Uni-C / The Danish Ministry of Education, will launch a special web site for school kids of all ages. The site will be part of www.emu.dk and will focus on American culture, history and politics. We will launch the high school version first and work our way down over the coming months. Stay tuned for more updates on this unique opportunity to teach American history, politics and culture in English or Danish in direct collaboration with the U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen.
