NEW PROGRAMS IN 2023

 

Enhance your students' global awareness with cultural intelligence through our live-facilitated virtual programs for schools.

 

Our two programs tailored for school students are:

  • Project Global Citizen Bootcamp: “The UN Environmental Challenge” 
  • Project Global Citizen 4-Week Challenge: “The Earthshot Prize Pitch"

Both programs provide thought-provoking discussions, case studies, problem-solving activities, and practical strategies to cultivate students' intercultural communication skills and global citizenship.

As students unpack our case studies, they gain a deep understanding of cultural communication dynamics and how to excel working in cross-cultural team environments.

In the Project Global Citizen Bootcamp, students work on a case study based on The Ocean Cleanup project, while the 4-Week Challenge immerses participants in a case study inspired by The Earthshot Prize Pitch.
