Ramadan is the month-long religious fast observed by Muslims around the world, including right here in Utah. Your Muslim students might need extra support and accommodations during Ramadan, and your other students may express curiosity surrounding this Islamic practice. The Utah Museum of Contemporary Art has partnered with local nonprofit the Emerald Project to create an engaging and authentic resource to help you teach on this topic.
