GCP Framework

Step 1: Get to Know Each Other

First, students in different classes need to become friends. They can do this by:

• Sending videos or emails to say hello.

• Recording videos that show their school or town.

• Meeting online using Zoom or Google Meet to play games or ask questions. This can happen live (synchronous) or at different times (asynchronous).

Step 2: Find Connections with Global Goals

Next, students will find how their schoolwork connects to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These are big goals for a better world.

• Even if the classes are learning different subjects, everything connects to the SDGs in some way.

Step 3: Look for Solutions

Then, students will study and research ways to solve the global problem they chose.

• They can learn by asking questions, working on projects, or doing research.

• They will find out what people are already doing to help with the problem in their town, country, or other countries.

Step 4: Take Action Together

Finally, the partner classes will work together to help with the global problem. They can help in their local area, their country, or even worldwide.

• This "Collective Action" means everyone works together to make a difference.

This final step is very important for all Global Classroom Projects. It's more than just sending letters like old pen-pal programs.
