This webinar was produced in partnership with CFR Education and the IB Exchange from International Baccalaureate.

Watch this dynamic online session to explore free, nonpartisan resources from CFR Education designed to support IB Global Politics teachers through the IB Exchange.

Experienced IB workshop leader, Rick Fitzpatrick, and Charles Hopkins, an educational leader from the Council on Foreign Relations, discuss how CFR Education content can be used to support the learning and teaching of key concepts for the Diploma Programme’s Global Politics course.

This webinar is open to all IB and non-IB educators who are interested in integrating global politics into their curriculum—particularly through the topics of sovereignty, legitimacy, rights and justice, power, and interdependence.
