Global Connections and Exchange
The Youth Programs Division has initiated the Global Connections and Exchange Program for secondary school Internet connectivity and curriculum development. Teachers receive specialized training on computer applications, web development and the use of the Internet to enhance their daily lessons. They also develop skills needed to participate in collaborative activities with U.S. schools. Both teachers and students are offered opportunities to travel to their partner schools as a way to strengthen mutual understanding and solidify virtual relationships through face-to-face meetings. Global Connections programs EMPOWER youth to use technology to tackle universal issues such as gender equity, health, environment, diversity and human rights. These programs EDUCATE schools to benefit from Internet access and resources by ENGAGING participants in dialogue with the international community. Through this EXCHANGE of information, students are able to expand their world vision and gain perspectives that will help them succeed in the international arena.
