Our thanks to the team at Harvard’s @Digi_Thriving for leading a Global Cities staff brainstorm on #AI. How can we live our values as we harness new technology? It was eye-opening to discuss what feels “total fine” and what “crosses a line.” Great #PD. digitalthriving.gse.harvard.edu/wp-content/upl…

Sure we’re a digital program, but we ❤️💙💚colored pens, origami, and an old-fashioned walk around the neighborhood. Great job with your community food guide, Global Scholars in Paris! #pbl #foodcitiesfuture

“If we don’t prepare them for what’s next, then really – what are we doing in school?” Nicola Labas, School Principal, San Diego CA. See how Global Scholars prepares graduates who can collaborate, brainstorm solutions, get involved. #civiclearningweek #globalcompetency

What does a Community Food Guide have to do with #culturalunderstanding? ✅ Observing culture in one’s own city ✅ Seeing connections between culture & food ✅ Presenting your city’s food culture to peers around the world! Great job, Global Scholars in #Mumbai. #foodcitiesfuture

Global Scholars in #Kostanay, Kazakhstan shared a food map of their neighborhood with international peers. They noted food sources they saw and one that might be missing. Could there be a community garden in Kostanay’s future…? #foodcitiesfuture ⋆.ೃ࿔* :･🌱⋆.ೃ࿔* :･

If global learning has been on your “someday” list, this is a practical first step. Global Ed Lab Virtual Exchange Meet-Up Register: globalcities.org/contact Let your classroom be a place where global dialogue begins.

A young Global Scholars student from #Mumbai shared an “aha” moment with international peers as he realized the diversity of lunch! #virtualexchange #appreciationfordiversity

To keep a conversation going in the Global Scholars e-classroom, teachers prompt students to read each post with care, answer questions, and end with a new question. A student in #NewHaven does a great job responding to a post from #Astana. #culturalunderstanding.

It is eye-opening for students to recognize how many cultures each city can embrace. Global Scholars in Astana shared dishes from Kazakhstan, Turkey & Korea with international peers in the e-classroom. Menemen for breakfast, please! #culturalunderstanding

How do we prepare students to thrive in an interconnected world? For more than a decade, we have partnered with @educaciocat that has shown sustained leadership in preparing students for global citizenship. See what Catalonia is making possible: youtu.be/34kKGPiEnJo?si…

“As I sit down to try beef noodles, it feels like I just rewinded all the history from Taiwan." Seeing distant cultures through the eyes of peers opens the world to students ages 10-13. 🍜🍜🍜 Great job, Global Scholars Taipei! #virtualexchange #culturalunderstanding

We want students to graduate ready to collaborate, communicate, and solve problems with peers from around the world. Global Scholars is dedicated to making that possible. 🌍 Join today and globalize your classroom at globalcities.org youtube.com/shorts/pRp4FBt…
