In light of the continuous opression by NCLB legislation and the opressive environment established by the Bush administration, I feel it's time we, NAME members start discussing again important education issues and help one another promote multicultural education issues in our areas.

> Monday, February 5, 2007 from 8:30-10:00 AM, Sheraton Hotel Conference
> Center , South Burlington , VT
>
> This conference will extend the campus conversations about white
> culture, oppression and privilege. We will explore themes of educating
> in contexts of whiteness, curriculum transformation, non-dominant
> social justice prespectives and multicultural training. The conference
> will feature keynote Paula Rothenberg.
>
> Rothenberg's lecture will examine ways in which white privilege has
> been woven seamlessly into daily life so that what some would identify
> as privilege others would say is just the way things are. Taking full
> aim at the doctrine that preaches a colorblind approach to race, the
> lecture argues that such an approach reifies difference to the benefit
> of white privilege. Rothenberg will distinguish between different
> versions of multiculturalism, and argue for a critical multicultural
> education, one that unmasks issues of hierarchy and privilege,
> disrupts the discourse of whiteness, and serves the interests of a
> democracy concerned with liberty and justice for us all.
>
> PAULA ROTHENBERG
> Author and lecturer, formerly professor of philosophy and women's
> studies at the William Paterson University of New Jersey and director
> of the New Jersey Project on Inclusive Scholarship, Curriculum, and
> Teaching. In addition to her widely used texts in feminist and
> multicultural studies, she is also coeditor of Feminist Frameworks ,

> international students from around the globe.
>
> The Winter camp is run from January 2nd until January 12th, 2008, and
> is a unique opportunity to celebrate the coolest festive season in
> Siberia with lots of exciting events, and experience all the winter
> fun you have ever dreamed of in ten days.
>
> Both the summer and the winter programs are a great chance for
> international participants to learn the Russian language and get a
> first-hand experience of the Russian culture and life style. They
> provide a unique cultural opportunity of daily interaction with the
> Russian children, youth and adults. The RUSSIAN COURSE is organized
> for overseas students and volunteer teachers and includes language
> studies as well as learning about the Russian culture, history and
> society.

> We are looking for native speakers of English, German, French, Spanish
> and other languages, who would like to be VOLUNTEER TEACHERS of their
> language and/or Volunteer Creativity Workshop Coordinators at the
> Summer/Winter camps. No previous teaching experience is required.

> on-site internship supervision provided. We are looking for people who
> are energetic, enthusiastic, open-minded, sociable, enjoy camp

>
> We also seek people worldwide (SCHOOLCHILDREN, university STUDENTS,

> - Roundtrip airfare to Novosibirsk.
> - Obtaining the Russian visa and visa fees.
> - Participation fee, which covers accommodation, meals, local
> transportation, exciting cultural program, excursions, etc.

> children, youth and adults all the time. This is the kind of

> studies we also offer sports, intellectual games, quizzes,
> entertaining activities, shows, performances, presentations, parties,

>
> 2) You will gain a first-hand experience of the Russian culture and

> you will spend much more money compared to what you would pay to

> need much pocket money, you may need some spending money to buy
> souvenirs and gifts to take back home. All the local services (airport
> pick-up, local transportation, excursions) are provided by our school
> without any additional payment.
>
> 4) You don't have to be a professional teacher in order to volunteer
> for the programme. The most important aspect is your willingness to
> participate and share your knowledge and culture, as well as your
> enthusiasm and good will. Teaching at the camp is not like an academic
> teaching routine, it's more like fun where emphasis is made on
> communication. Our school will provide you with the daily topical
> schedule for the classes and will be happy to assist with lesson
> planning and teaching materials. University students are eligible to
> apply as volunteer teachers. You will gain valuable practical
> experience, proven ability and contacts that you can use to get a
> future job. Teaching at the camp can also be considered as an
> INTERNSHIP with all necessary paperwork and an on-site internship
> supervision provided.
>
> 5) International participants attend Russian languages classes every
> day. Russian classes are taught by well-educated native speakers
> trained to teach foreigners. Students are placed in a group according
> to their level of Russian. No previous knowledge of Russian is
> required. We will also be happy to arrange courses on the Russian
