Its strategic location and varied geography have drawn conquerors from the Phoenicians and Byzantines to the French and Italians. It was the native Berbers and invading Arabs, however, who exerted the most influence mingling their cultures and spreading their influence from the shores of the Mediterranean southward across the burning sands of the Sahara. This rich legacy continues today in the ancient cities Casablanca, Carthage, Tunis, Algiers, Tripoli, Marrakech, Tangiers and in fortified Berber villages, Roman ruins, lofty mountain ranges, and desert oases. This workshop will help participants understand the complexities of North Africa and how to include this fascinating part of the world in their teaching strategies.
