Description: The U-M International Institute's outreach calendar is an academic-year calendar designed to help educators enhance global learning in the classroom. Each month's photograph focuses on a different country complete with a descriptive caption and Did You Know? facts drafted by experts in that particular world region.

The calendar will cover the 2012-2013 academic year and the theme "Capturing How We Communicate." The calendar is a free resource for educators. Please limit requests to one copy per person. Administrators or department heads may request copies for up to five staff members.
