The Global Literacy curriculum is a series of interactive workshops on immigration and trade that PICA has developed for high school students (and others). They are designed to be delivered within standard 40-minute or 1-hour and 15-minutes blocks. They are also very effective when used in college classes, and with members of adult community and faith organizations. Download the curriculum here (PDF format).
