Guided tour of the Arab American National Museum: Join AANM as we take visitors on a guided tour of our core galleries. Along the way, we will explore elements of history, culture and the immigration of Arab Americans to the United States. We will also define the Arab World, highlight ethnic and religious diversity within the Arab World/Arab American community, analyze stereotypes and discuss layers of identity. Guests are welcome and encouraged to ask any questions and interact with our education staff!
Workshop: AANM Primary Sources: This workshop will focus on how the Arab American National Museum utilizes primary sources to tell the stories of Arab Americans. Educators will also share/brainstorm how folks can include these sources into their classroom/lessons.
Workshop: Learning Traditional Arabic Dances: Participants have the opportunity to learn the dabke, a traditional folk dance performed in several countries of the Arab world including Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and Jordan.
