The MENA Knowledge Project is a series of workshops for K-12 education that aim to provide a nuanced understanding of the Middle East. Moving beyond broad categorizations that often lead to stereotypes, we seek to educate youth on the region's intricate diversity, inspiring them to explore its rich heritage. We cover topics such as urban architecture, history, language, and more to foster an enthusiasm for learning about the Middle East.

Everyone is welcome, and all ages can join in on the fun.
