Global Education is what our students need for the future. Our world is getting smaller and smaller each day due to technology so we must give our students the world. We have to plant the seed now in working together and building relationships with others around the world. Our students' perception of the world cannot stay within the four walls of the school.

Global education is the term used to describe education which:

• enables people to understand the links between their own lives and those of people throughout the world
• increases understanding of the economic, cultural, political and environmental influences which shape our lives
• develops the skills, attitudes and values which enable people to work together to bring about change and take control of their own lives
• works towards achieving a more just and sustainable world in which power and resources are more equitably shared

(A Rationale for Global Education, David Hicks)

What is Global Education?

Globally competent students understand that the world is a system in which their actions, as well as the actions of nations, have consequences across the globe. They see the interconnectedness of humans with the landscape and environment; they understand why people settle and live where they do; they are attuned to their local economy and understand how it is affected by global economic forces; they see history as an ongoing story with many threads, rather than a series of unconnected events; they are aware of the big questions doctors, scientists, and policymakers are trying to answer and recognize the forces that impede or accelerate progress; and they are attuned to the differences as well as they similarities of cultures.
