The holiday season is quickly approaching, and while many students in the US are familiar with holidays like Christmas, educators strive to expand the minds of students and explore a variety of holidays celebrated across the globe. During this engaging conversation, attendees will learn how to use technology to connect students in the US to their peers around the world using free resources provided by Generation Global.
During this webinar, attendees will learn from two students who engaged with the free Generation Global program during their high school years, and have continued to stay involved with the program into their post-secondary education as student moderators.
Our students are growing up in a world that looks very different to the one we grew up in. It is essential that we foster specific skills in each of these learners to better prepare them for the world they will enter upon leaving school. During this engaging discussion, our speakers will take us on an adventure to explore the skills of understanding, empathy and effective dialogue.
