Discover the Arab World : an exciting new resource for teachers

The British Museum has just developed an important new resource about the Arab world for schools, following extensive research and consultation with educators, museum professionals and other experts. Written by the British Museum's Arab World Education Officer, Discover the Arab World is an innovative free resource for secondary school teachers, which will be available both online and in printed form. It is designed to support teachers in exploring relevant and challenging issues about the Arab World and to help them develop a greater awareness and understanding of Arab culture among their students.

Using 30 key objects in the British Museum's collection, Discover the Arab World supports teaching about Arab people and culture at Key Stages 3 and 4 in Art & Design, Religious Education, Citizenship and History within cross-curricular themes. So far, more than 170 secondary schools have signed up to receive a copy.
