Subject: Starting! Global Collaboration Week (UPDATED Listings)

Students, teachers, and organizations will get online to celebrate global collaboration this coming week (September 17-21) as back-to-school season begins in the northern hemisphere.

During Global Collaboration Week, experienced global educators and other professionals design and host connective projects and events and invite public participation. The primary goals of this online event are to demonstrate the power of global connectivity in classrooms, schools, institutions of informal learning and universities around the world, and to introduce others to the tools, resources, projects, and networks that are available to educators today.

This is an opportunity for educators new to globally connected teaching and learning to participate in virtual activities designed by more experienced teachers. It's also a great way for educators running ongoing global projects to find project partners! We (Lucy Gray + Steve Hargadon, co-chairs of the Global Education Conference) are the calendar coordinators but not the direct conveners: that is, over 1000 people from 83 countries will participate in independently-planned events which we have then organized into a directory and in special calendars to allow these events to be seen in any time zone in the world.

This fourth-annual Global Collaboration event is a huge worldwide demonstration of the power of globally-connected learning. We encourage you to browse the event directory or the calendar and choose a compelling event to attend! Read directions and our website carefully to prepare. current list of the events is at the bottom of this post, but use the links below because new events will be added and others may change).
    Here are some important links for you to keep handy:

    Special thanks to Qatar Foundation International and TakingITGlobal, our sponsors this year!





    See you online,

    Lucy and Steve

      Project/event description:
      Breaking down the classroom walls can be challenging and scary to try to do! With Flipgrid, it allows those walls to crumble A LOT easier! We will look at two current GLOBAL projects that are going on using Flipgrid.

      1. #WORLDReadAlouds: A unique way to bring the world together to bring children’s books alive using Flipgrid & Book Creator. Current story being built “The Dot” By Peter H. Reynolds
      2. Night Zookeeper’s #GlobalReadersTheater: Why restrict a readers theater script to just your class?! With the help from everyone at Night Zookeeper, we have an amazing script and printable masks for kids to bring the Night Zoo to life! This project uses Flipgrid and in hopes scenes to be recorded on green screen, we will put together the finished products together using DoInk. Come checkout the fun that’s coming alive!

      Project/event directions for participation:
      For each specific event, directions are within that project’s Flipgrid link.During the session, I will go through in detail about both projects and provide links to the desired projects.

      Project/event description:
      The Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) program, funded by the U.S. Department of State, provides scholarships for secondary school students from countries with significant Muslim populations to spend one academic year in the United States.

      The goals of the YES Alumni Program are to expand on and practice what YES students have learned about volunteerism, community service and citizen responsibility during their exchange year.

      YES alumni around the world have proven through years of projects that they are invested in promoting a more just and equal society, especially one that is free of gender bias. This webinar will discuss how men and women can create projects and programs that challenge gender stereotypes, and emphasize the role YES alumni can take in supporting and changing perceptions about women.

      During the webinar, we will feature YES alumni projects and alumni themselves that are challenging the way that women are perceived within their own society to ultimately advance gender equality. We invite webinar participants to join the webinar with a YES alumni service project in mind to collect feedback on ways the project can be more gender inclusive. During the webinar, we also encourage YES alumni to consider the ways that they can best include gender forward policies in their alumni associations. The guest speaker is Angela Lagat, Chief Brand and Marketing lead at ZanaAfrica with over 12 years experience in developing and managing a range of global and local brands. Her current areas of focus is developing approaches to deliver products and information for adolescent girls and women in the areas of Menstrual health and Sexual Reproductive Health Rights in Kenya and East Africa. The YES alumna speaker will be Bosnia and Herzegovina alumna Sanda Hanjalic who launched an educational film project gathering stories of women who fight against prejudice and do things which are traditionally seen as “men’s” work.
