UCBHSSP and the International and Area National Resource Centers at UC Berkeley partnered on a four-year workshop series to help educators prepare students to understand cross-regional and thematic elements in global history. In the final year of the grant, UCBHSSP partnered with ORIAS to present a three day games symposium. This programming was made possible through a federal Title VI grant to the International and Area Studies Centers at UC Berkeley.
