Global
Education
Global
Education involves learning about those problems and issues that cut
across national boundaries, and about the interconnectedness of
systems
- ecological
- cultural
- economic
- political
- technological
Global
education involves perspective taking - seeing things through the
eyes and minds of others - and it means the realization that while
individuals and groups may view life differently, they also have
common needs and values.
Global
education raises the awareness for children that we all share the
same planet, that there's more to the world than their neighborhood,
and it helps dispel prejudices at a young age.
Throughout
the year each classroom studies a particular country. They put
together a presentation about what they have studied. Then at the end
of the year, each class presents their final project to other
classes. We call this culminating activity "Global Week" and
celebrate with guests from countries studied, performing artists, and
final projects.
