Educational Resources
The Silk Road Project has partnered with leading organizations to produce educational materials relating to the Silk Road, music and the arts.
Silk Road Connect is our flagship arts integration program. We are offering a weekend institute open to all educators and teaching artists in July at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Learn more about "The Arts and Passion-Driven Learning."
Materials for Teachers
The Silk Road Project has helped produced the following curricula and lesson plans:
Calliope Magazine for Students
Calliope, a world history magazine for ages 9-14, has worked with the Silk Road Project to produce three special issues that help students connect the world with their classrooms:
"Music Travels the Silk Road" focuses on musical migrations along the historic Silk Road, featuring musicians from the Silk Road Ensemble.
 "Music Travels the Silk Road" teacher's guide
For teachers using the "Music Travels the Silk Road" issue of CALLIOPE in the classroom, a free teacher's guide is available, created by The Stanford Program on International and Cross-Cultural Education (SPICE) in collaboration with the Silk Road Project.
"Indigo: A Color That Links the World" reveals a world of connections through the history and uses of a remarkable dye, indigo. This issue was developed in part based on dyeing activities with indigo in our arts education approach Silk Road Connect.
"Rivers: The Key to Life" connects music and rivers and examines the influences of the world's waterways on cultures around the globe.
Reading Lists
The Silk Road Project is pleased to recommend books about the Silk Road, music and intercultural exchange.
