WELCOME TO
GLOBAL CULTURE
EDUCATION INITIATIVE
“LEARNING WITH OTHERS,
NOT JUST ABOUT OTHERS”.
In communities throughout the world climate change threatens the balance that sustains human life in relationship to the natural environment.
The desire of younger generations to mitigate the impacts of climate change with the availability of communication technologies able to create globally networked interest groups allows opportunities for young people worldwide “to learn about while learning with” one another through collaboratively identifying and
addressing the causes of the environmental challenges impacting them.

THE CHALLENGE
Global climate change imposes a threat to communities throughout the world. Rising temperatures, extreme weather events, loss of biodiversity, and resource scarcity are among the many consequences we face.
The urgency of our predicament demands immediate and collective action from all corners of the world.
The Global Culture Education Initiative (GCEI) serves as a platform for students grades K-12 from around the world to collaborate, innovate, and take action to create a sustainable future. We firmly believe that the energy, creativity, of students can drive this urgent need for transformative change. GCEI learning model reflects five critical issues (Areas of Service) that remain at the intersection of international understanding and environmental stewardship of the planet, and which are based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
AREAS OF SERVICE
GCEI’s Areas of Service are five critical issues at the intersection of international understanding and environmental stewardship of the planet, which are explored in
multiple ways and are relevant to the students, and the larger community.
WATER
Issues affecting water resources, sustainable alternatives to issues of availability of water,
of clean drinking water, awareness in the larger community, etc.
FOOD
The underlying causes of food scarcity, be it war, natural disasters or climate change;
use of pesticides, composting, food shortage, wastage, distribution, etc.
ENERGY
Renewable and non-renewable sources of energy, global energy issues,
energy conservation, fossil fuels, etc.
SHELTER
Issues affecting housing in different parts of the world: wars, internal conflicts, poverty, etc. Alternatives to the identified issues as well as initiatives for sustainable housing, etc.
Girl from Arusha, Tanzania
“Most of the girls who are from our school are from marginalized societies, hence sometimes there is a
difficulty of getting a chance of education. Also most of the societies in our country are facing
environmental problems due to lack of education.”
Boy from Gurgaon, India
“We found a solution to make a sustainable waste management system which has no emissions
and that made me very excited because it’s not an everyday experience to have that sort of revelation.”
Girl from Nippy Town, Liberia
“I was very happy making new friends from other part of the world but more than
that I got to know what is happening in the world related to food as well as water pollution.
Being a part of GCEI I’m very happy as we got to know what is happening in other part of the world on group level.”
