On Wednesday 9 December, 2 of our Year 10 students participated in a global student dialogue on “Youth Action for Global Causes.” Over 250 students from 13 different countries (Belarus, Canada, Chile, England, France, Ghana, India, Romania, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Turkey, and the United States) attending 43 different schools all came together to discuss their perspectives. 
 

Student participants shared the causes about which they are inspired, and they collectively developed understandings about the competencies required to tackle these challenges today, and in the future. This virtual student dialogue gave students an opportunity to learn how to engage in respectful dialogue, communicate across differences, and understand multiple perspectives around a complex global issue. The program was organized by the Global Education Benchmark Group (GEBG), a non-profit association of schools with global education programs.
