North Shore United Educators member Richard Tobias has won a Fulbright-Hays
Seminar Award. He'll join 15 educators for a four-week program in South
Africa.
Tobias has taught general music and chorus in the Maple Dale-Indian Hill
School District since 1997. He'll begin his journey in mid-July 2003 with
an orientation program in Arkansas before heading to South Africa.
While in South Africa, the Fulbright-Hays recipients will visit the cities
of Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town. They'll also visit Krugar National
Park, the Gandhi Settlement and Robben Island prison where Nelson Mandela
was once held.
Tobias will have the opportunity to interact with indigenous people whose
heritage is preserved in the art, music, languages and cultures of the
region. He'll also have the opportunity to learn more about Africa's geography,
environment and cultural history.
Tobias has lived and studied abroad before. In 2001, he received a Fulbright-Memorial
Fund award to study in Japan. He also spent a semester in Great Britain
through the University Wisconsin-Stevens Point Semester Abroad Program.
