Global Glimpse brings groups of students from a wide variety of high schools together through travel with highly-skilled teachers the summer after their junior year. While abroad, this group of learners explores history, culture, politics, poverty, education, development, and business in a developing country. We challenge students to think critically, collaborate with each other and bring their new-found perspective back to their high schools and communities.
Our Global Glimpse programs are 2-years long and begin with engaging pre-trip workshops led by Global Glimpse trained educators at our partner high schools. These workshops prepare students with a base of understanding on leadership, globalization, aid and development, and international relations. During the 14-day summer immersion program. students are involved in seminars and lectures, field trips, reality challenges, and community action projects that address the following curriculum themes in depth:
History
Culture
Education
Deconstructing Poverty
Global Business
Politics
