The 1619 Global Connections Series is made up of four parts that will resource educators bridging students’ local experiences to the historical context informing them and the global issues connecting them to other parts of the world. The series will feature Pulitzer Center journalist grantees working around the world and explore Pulitzer Center reporting on Global Health, Climate and Environment, Peace and Conflict, and Information and AI that directly relates to The 1619 Project’s goals of interrogating historical narratives, acknowledging Black Americans’ contributions to history, and understanding the lasting legacies of slavery. 

Learning Workshop 1 is focused on our Climate and Environment Issue Area!
