GLOBAL CULTURE
EDUCATION INITIATIVE
“LEARNING ABOUT WHILE LEARNING WITH”.
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.

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.”
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.
