Youth Connect Worldwide
 

OVERVIEW:

Global SchoolNet is proud to provide support to the Youth Connect Worldwide project.

Bring the world into your classroom by integrating technology and global issues into your curriculum! Prepare your students to become active empowered citizens of the world!

The Youth Connect Worldwide project connects schools in the United States with schools abroad through a series of web-based collaborative activities and exchanges. Students across borders discuss issues that matter to them and participate in joint activities which promote cultural understanding, tolerance, and a sense of belonging to the world. We provide an internationally-minded curriculum which adapts easily to many classes, including history, civics, journalism, art, science, technology, and others. This alternative education program helps you to increase the use of technology in the classroom, broadens your students' perspectives, giving them a chance to interact with international partners in a project that they help create.

The Youth Connect Worldwide project is co-sponsored by the Department of State and Relief International - Schools Online and connects classrooms in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, the Palestinian Territories, Tajikistan and the United States.
