Spring 2009 Programs
Join GNG as we kick off our Spring programs by reporting straight from the field at President Obama's Inauguration! This spring, we will also be exploring the Global Economic Crisis, take a look into the roles of the world's emerging superpowers - China and India, continue to delve into human rights conflicts around the globe - from genocide to Guantanamo to the crisis in Afghanistan and The Democratic Republic of Congo! We will also be celebrating the achievements of females around the world in honor of International Women's Day and young people as positive agents of change. We can't wait for you to join us on our "virtual" journey around the globe!
