Congratulations to our CCG students! 735 students in 28 classrooms across three countries from 4th- 12th grade completed CCG in May. What did they do? ✅ Some classes created interactive maps sharing areas of cultural significance with their partner classes. ✅Some classes investigated environmental issues in their community and worked with global peers to design solutions. ✅Some classes created alphabet books using each letter of the alphabet to share a different element of their local culture. All the classes developed cultural competencies like respect for diversity, communication skills, self-awareness, and adaptability. Thank you to The Stevens Initiative and the Bezos Family Foundation for their support for this tremendous virtual exchange. (fb)
