Coming events

PEORIA -- Here are some interesting coming events:

• What Are We Doing Here? The Impact of Foreign Aid on Africa with film maker Tim Klein is Thursday, February 21, in the auditorium in Westlake Hall, Bradley University.  The film will run first at 6:30 pm, followed by discussion with the film maker.  

This event is free and open to all.  Please watch the weather - we'll plan to proceed with this event unless Bradley University closes:)  You know the Peoria weather - we might get it, or we might not.  Check out the flyer at www.pawac.org.

• Spotlight on Turkey - a Workshop will be held on Saturday, March 2 in the Executive Suite in the Bradley Student Center.  This event runs from 9 am to 2:30 pm.  There is a nominal fee for this workshop, and it is open to everyone. 
  

There will be special materials provided to teachers, and all teachers grades 6 through 12 are strongly encouraged to apply for a study tour going to Turkey June 27-July 11, 2013.  This heavily subsidized trip is an outstanding way to find materials that can be brought into any classroom curriculum!  You can find the flyer and registration materials on the website at www.pawac.org.
