 // Interdisciplinarity and the World Studies Extended Essay // **Category III Workshop** === Welcome to the Category III set for March1-3 at Discovery College, Discovery Bay, Hong Kong. The rationale for this workshop is based on the fact that World studies (WSEE) is a new and complex extended essay option with no corresponding IB syllabus. Schools preparing students for this option will need an understanding of key new areas such as interdisciplinary research and the development of global consciousness. ===

At the workshops, participants will be given a WSEE Workbook with various documents and worksheets included.There are five broad components to this workshop and the session will address all of them.
 * 1) ** Interdisciplinary Research **
 * 2) ** Global Consciousness **
 * 3) ** Supervising the WSEE **
 * 4) ** Assessment **
 * 5) ** Links between the WSEE and IB Philosophy **
