TakingITGlobal will be taking part as a presenter on one of the days. The program will be run by the Toronto YMCA, in partnership with the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). From their site ( http://www.ymcatoronto.org/goglobal/ ): (Also see the attached PDF) The Go Global Program is a two-tiered approach to encouraging the integration of a global perspective in teaching. It offers students the opportunity to explore their role as global citizens by enabling them as peer-educators and provides teachers with meaningful collaborative learning models and the tools for classroom application. This project would raise awareness of global issues through peer-to-peer learning and would raise awareness of peer-to-peer learning through global education. The Go Global Program The objectives of this program are: * To enable students to explore citizenship in a global context * To raise awareness of global issues through peer-to-peer learning, and to raise awareness of peer-to-peer learning through global education * To support teachers in providing learner-centred opportunities for a global perspective in the classroom The Go Global program will initially train thirty grade10 and 11 students from 15 Toronto high schools. These youth Global Educators will create workshops that they will run with 3 different groups at their school, with students in grades 9-12, reaching a total of 1,350 students. A Teacher's Kit will be provided to teachers from participating schools with resources, activities and tools for "Building a Global Perspective in a learner-centred classroom."
