This year, our school participates for the second time in the international project Global Scholars.
Global Scholars is an international online learning project that connects students in cities around the world and prepares them to become the next generation of global citizens. Engaging in activities both in the classroom and online, students ages 10-13 interact with their international peers, develop 21st century skills, and ultimately gain a broader perspective on the global world in which they live.
The project is carried out by students in cities around the world who communicate with their peers across continents and oceans, take an active interest in local and global issues, and work to improve their cities and the world. Being Global Scholars, our students gain global perspective as they share ideas and experiences through discussion forums and develop multimedia projects such as documentary videos and digital presentations. Students ultimately use their knowledge to improve their own communities and the world.
Each year, Global Scholars provides an original curriculum focused on a different topic of global concern, ranging from health and nutrition to environmental sustainability. This year, the project is called Digital Cities Connect! and it deals on how technology helps us communicate and work together with people around the world and how we can make smart choices about technology to keep our planet healthy and sustainable.
In the following video, the Bisbe Berenguer’s 2nd of ESO students involved in the project explain what it means to them being a Global Scholar and what they would like to teach other Global Scholar from all over the world about L’Hospitalet, Catalonia and Spain.
