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.
