This teaching resource offers a unique approach to world history. Rather than highlighting geographic areas as distinct civilizations and/or nations, these materials introduce the history of the Mediterranean region by focusing on shared cultural, economic, religious and social practices that informed society at the time.

The website includes six teaching modules with multiple detailed lesson plans covering the Mediterranean region from its formation through to the present. Each module comes with an introductory overview and its classroom applications. Each module can be downloaded for use.
