Global Cities, Inc.

✨Introducing the Global Scholars Alumni Network ✨ Last month, alongside #CityLabMadrid we welcomed representative alumni from 9 cities across 7 countries for the inaugural Global Scholars Alumni Convening—and the launch of a new global community. ➡️globalcities.org/alumni-announc…

We asked alumni of the Global Scholars program to describe how they felt about the classroom teacher who had led them in international #virtualexchange. These eloquent students were *almost* at a loss for words. (Read the hearts!) ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ #respect #TeacherAppreciationWeek2026

A special thank you to @ColumbiaSIPA Professor Ester Fuchs for joining our inaugural Global Scholars Alumni Convening last week in Madrid and for her remarks inspiring young people to get INVOLVED in participatory design and urban planning! 🗣️🏙️🌳🌳🌳

This week in Madrid, alongside @CityLab, Global Cities welcomed Global Scholars alumni from 7 countries. Their focus: youth voices in sustainable urban design. Their new platform: the Global Scholars Alumni Network! Stay tuned for #collaboration on global challenges ✨🚀✨

Congratulations to Jermaine Dawson on his appointment as the new CEO of @BaltCitySchools! We have had the luck of partnering with Dr. Dawson in Birmingham & in Duval County, as he expanded global learning for thousands of lucky students. Thrilled for him and for Baltimore! ✨✨✨

In a world of divisions, consider what unites us. Tea, for instance. ☕☕☕ Here's a great conversation starter in the international e-classroom, from Global Scholars students in #Astana. #globalknowledge #foodcitiesfuture

Listening to chocolate in New Haven: “When we know how much work and how many steps our ordinary food goes through every day, we are more aware of what we are wasting” – great job, Global Scholars #foodcitiesfuture #globalknowledge

One young person’s idea can make a difference. Just ask the birds of Hoboken NJ! #globalscholarstakeaction #natureandourcities hobokengirl.com/hoboken-bird-s…

Classrooms thrive when students explore the world with empathy, purpose, and meaning. Through the Global Cities Educator Workshop Series, teachers are building practical strategies to bring global learning into their classrooms. Learn more: globalcities.org/contact

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

You don’t need a ✈️ticket to create global connections. Our Virtual Exchange Guide outlines research-based practices to ensure students can collaborate meaningfully with peers across borders. ➡️Start building lasting global learning experiences today: globalcities.org/virtual-exchan…

How do you build global teaching practice in your district? In the no-fee Global Cities Educator Workshop Series, teachers learn to design lessons that spark curiosity and community engagement and then evaluate student progress. Learn more: globalcities.org/contact

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.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love for my students to talk with students in another part of the world, but where do I even begin?”—this meet-up is for you! Global Ed Lab Virtual Exchange Meet-Up 📅 March 13 | ⏰9:00 a.m. ET or 12:00 p.m. ET Register: globalcities.org/contact
