How to go global in schools and learning environments for children and youth today?
There are so many possibilities to work on a global projects through the internet now a days and in the class of the first of mars we did look at some websites that had lot a projects pupils in school could work on. In these websites there were teachers all over the world who are communicating with each other and planning a project to work on together. But also I saw on these websites that some students are trying to find another student to work on something together.
One way to start working on global projects is that a teacher needs to find appropriate jobs for the children to work on and then find another teacher with a class who are interesting in work on a project like his. These two classes can be from countries all over the world and of course it can be more than two classes working together on some projects.

I think that when a teacher is going to work on a global school project with children he needs to help them become open minded and aware that in our world there are lots of different cultures and peoples behavior varies from place to place. I think also that it is good for children and youth to learn about their own cultures so they can “talk” about their own cultures with children from all over the world through global projects and learn about different cultures from other children about how life is in other places of the world.
