Educator Workshop at Institute for Global Studies Outreach, U of MN While most people associate Spanish with Spain and Latin America, fewer realize that it was the language of Spains colony in North Africa. Today, Saharans born and educated in the Spanish colony of the Western Sahara and living in Spain and Latin America, write poetry and short stories in Castilian to describe the past and present realities of life in the Saharan desert-the life of nomadic Arabs embroiled in the politics of the Middle East. Educators attending this workshop will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with poet Bahia Awah (Bahia Mahmud Hamadi) and poet Limam Oumar Boicha on exploring the histories of Iberian colonialisms with the present realities of African Immigration and cultural production. Lesson plans will be shared as well as other teaching resources. Workshop will be conducted in Spanish and English.
