The Mission of Global Culture Education Initiative is to encourage and facilitate critical awareness of international mindedness and environmental stewardship in 6-12 schools and educational partners, domestically and internationally.

GCEI envisions a world in which young learners from disparate parts of the
world increasingly recognize that our shared responsibility for the health of the planet cuts across cultural
and national boundaries and is rooted in our common humanity.

To facilitate regular cross-cultural learning opportunities for students in the areas of international understanding and environmental stewardship… the international classroom.

To encourage both student and faculty engagement among participating schools and educational partners, supporting common global learning and discovery objectives.

To encourage the integration of the threads of international mindedness and environmental stewardship into existing 6-12 school curricula and educational programs.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

The responsible use and protection of the natural environment through conservation and sustainable practice.

INTERNATIONAL MINDEDNESS

A view of the world in which people see themselves connected to a global community that assumes a
sense of responsibility to its members; involving an awareness of the inter-relatedness of all nations and peoples
and a recognition of the complexity of these relationships.

GLOCALIZATION

We are simultaneously citizens of a locality, a state, a province, a country and the planet.
