The Teach Europe seminars were launched in New York in 2003 thanks to a partnership between the French Cultural Services, the Consulates General of Germany, Italy and Spain in New York as well as the universities of Yale, Rutgers and Columbia, and the American Associations of Teachers of German and French, the Goethe Institute and the Italian-American Committee on Education. In its 7th year the Teach Europe program offers yearly workshop seminars intending to provide participants with fair and updated information about the European Union, its multicultural nature, its economy, role and impact on today's world, and its relations with the United States. It is a unique chance for specialists of the European Union and educators to meet and exchange knowledge and experience. This program also features a general website for the teachers and their students, and a pedagogical resources kit, for direct classroom use, will be given to all participants. More than 1000 teachers have attended Teach Europe since its creation in 2003.

The Teach Europe seminars are designed for high school teachers of Languages, Social Studies, and Art. No previous training in European studies is necessary. Each set of four workshops will be preceded by a keynote speech setting the main themes for the day and will be followed by a convivial European lunch and a panel discussion to open up the debate. At every seminar day, participants will work with professors and will be exposed to innovative teaching strategies. The Teach Europe Seminars 2010 are planned in accordance with nationwide Continuing Education Units standards. Upon completion of the program, CEUs or Credit Hours will be granted to the participants.
