SQCC Participated at the 102nd Annual National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) 2022

On 1-4 December, SQCC participated in the 102nd annual National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) conference in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. SQCC’s staff promoted the Indian Ocean in World History (IOWH) website, an educational resource that explores 94,000 years of human history through seven interactive maps. The website is an excellent resource for history and geography teachers interested in exploring world history from a non-western perspective. The website’s interactive maps highlight primary resource entries in categories of documents, travelers, routes, goods, technologies, objects, places, and geography. The website is a free classroom resource that is comprised of signature maps, lesson plans, quizzes, trivia and additional educational resources.

In addition to learning about IOWH, guests also learned about the entire SQCC’s programs and scholarships as well as Oman’s culture, history, geography and tradition.

Visitors to SQCC’s booth received promotional materials such as SQCC programs flyers and pamphlets, bags of frankincense, majmar key chains, SQCC’s clicky pens as well as tourism brochures and booklets.
