LEARNING EXPERIENCES

Our program is structured by cohorts of 8-10 schools from different places around the world. In each of these schools, there is a group of 4-15 students between 13 and 18 years old who are part of the program, and a School Advisor who guides and works with the students in the development of the project. Each year, a general theme is proposed that consists of one of the Areas of Service, within which each of the schools can focus on any type of problem (challenge) that is present in their community.

GCEI provides a Cohort Manager who guides the School Advisors in the application of the methodology, and supports them and the students with material, ideas, contacts, etc.

Likewise, each school has a partner school within the same cohort with whom they are invited to interact as much as possible through Zoom or apps such as WhatsApp so that the process is accompanied and shared between the two schools, in addition to building another type of bonds and sharing other experiences along the way.

Approximately, every 6 weeks, an International Meeting is held between the 8-10 schools that make up the cohort to share each part of the process according to the proposed sequence following a student-centered challenge-based approach.

At some times of the year, according to specific situations or the availability of experts, we invite all students from the different cohorts of the moment to participate in forum-type meetings to analyze topics from various points of view, ask questions, among others.

At the end of the school year, an End-of-Year International Meeting is held to close the process, share what was achieved, learned, experienced, etc.
