CEERES, in conjunction with faculty at Illinois State University in 
Bloomington-Normal, has submitted a grant application for a 
Fulbright--Hays Group Project Abroad (GPA) to lead a short-term seminar 
in Russia on "Discovering Russia: Challenging Stereotypes and Media 
Myths" for educators. The seminar will take place mainly in the historic 
cultural city of Vladimir, Russia, followed by trips to Murom, St. 
Petersburg, and Moscow. The seminar will be preceded by a curriculum 
development workshop/predeparture orientation to be held at The 
University of Chicago campus.

For some helpful background information, you check the website of 
previous similar programs held through University of Illinois at 
Urbana-Champaign here: http://www.reec.uiuc.edu/outreach/fulbright.htm

Although the Fulbright-Hays GPA grant for this program is still pending 
(expected notification date: March 2008), we are proceeding with the 
participant application for the seminar to Russia. Please be aware that 
the proposed seminar is contingent on the grant funding approval.

Application Deadline: February 22, 2008 (postmarked)
