How do you empower your students to construct their own perspectives on global concerns such as human rights, global warming, corporate social responsibility, and security against terrorism? This book shows you how.

Compiling classroom-tested exercises for use in courses related to world affairs, it guides instructors through the steps of active learning and offers issues-based modules as templates for classroom instruction. Each module provides background information about issues and activities, step-by-step instructions, photocopy-ready exercises for students, and a post-exercise debriefing with discussion questions.

With this sourcebook, educators will powerfully connect their students to issues that transcend their immediate cultures and experiences. Aiming beyond passive comprehension, the exercises prompt students to define their own ethical compasses and foster the cultural awareness and communication skills necessary to navigate a diverse world.
