In the post-9/11 world, discussion about the "clash" between the Arab world and the West, particularly the U.S, has dominated our international news. The United States' recent involvement in a number of Middle Eastern conflicts has only exaggerated these concerns. In this special international PULSE series, participants will have the opportunity to interact with their counterparts in Cairo, Egypt, in order to set the record straight and tear down stereotypes on either side. They will have the unique opportunity to act as ambassadors for their respective countries, swapping experiences about culture, gender roles, religion, and more.

**NOTE: Due to high levels of interest in the Arab World programs, we ask that each teacher sign up for only ONE of the videoconferences below. We would like to allow as many schools to participate as possible. Thank you!**
