This week in our online class we’re going to travel to Syria, a country where political troubles have continually turned the nation upside down. Unfortunately for Syrians, theirs is a nation that has experienced many, MANY challenges in the last hundred years — colonization by the Ottomans, colonization by the French, several wars with Israel, tension with Jordan and Lebanon, not to mention military coup after military coup…in even the most cursory historical context, the recent troubles are not completely new. Most sadly, the current President, Bashar al-Assad, filled Syria with hope when he succeeded his father, long-time President Hafez al-Assad, in 2000. In class we’ll triumph over all troubles as we sing, dance, and even (pretend to!) get married.
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site and are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our curriculum offerings and how to become one of our teachers. That said, if you were on ExploreEverywhere, you clicked to find more information about a song or lesson, and landed here, you’re in the right place! Some links may be broken and a detail or two may be out of date…but close the popup window and enjoy!
