  • 09/14/15

New York, N.Y. — Carnegie Council works with some of the world's leading politicians, experts, and scholars on topics relating to ethics and international affairs, creating free online resources for a global audience.

Just in time for the school year, we present our website's new education section. Drawing on our vast digital library, it consists of texts and multimedia materials specially selected for high school and college classrooms. Through these resources, we hope that students will gain a deeper understanding of history, social studies, and philosophical issues, while strengthening their analytical skills.

It consists of the following segments:

Lesson Plan Ideas
This page hosts Carnegie Council's popular Ethics on Film series, recommended books and original lesson plans. Perfect for high school and university level students!

Short Videos
Two to six-minute video clips of prominent politicians, leaders and academics discussing issues relating to current events and American and global history.

Some of Carnegie Council's favorite articles, speeches, diaries excerpts, and interviews from the past 100 years. Also included are relevant collections from 21st century history.
