Youth-led Learning and Conversations

Global Nomads Group’s unique programs give youth a voice in how they learn about themselves, their peers, and the world around them.

Youth design their curriculum, lead conversations, and share their own stories.

Together, we are equipping them to lead us into a more just, equitable, and empathetic world.

Online Courses

Our unique online courses use youth storytelling to bring social issues to life through day-to-day realities.

Each course – designed in our Content Creation Lab youth internship program – provides an age-appropriate introduction to pressing global issues. Youth participants share their own stories in the courses and participate in moderated live conversations, offering real, lived experiences and a broad range of perspectives.

“When I was a young, my father was very obsessed with listening to music, even he used to play a musical instrument calling the oud, and I used to sit with him to listen to wonderful tune. I inherited the passion for music from my father. Music was taking me on a journey through time to different places that I only visit in my mind. It makes me happier, like a dose of both mental and physical comfortable. Is the only language in the world that is understood through hearing without indoctrination or educationI it calms and soothes the soul and helps to relax. Music in general is a collective art that is not isolated from other aspects of the life of human groups. Hearing music expresses emotions and feelings that language cannot express. And it has an impact on the formation of a balanced, harmonious and personality and the development of creativity and innovation.”​

What Our Youth Participants Say

“One word I would use to describe the session today is ‘eye-opening’. I never really thought about the different biases I had when meeting people for the first time, and I realized that I should be more open minded when meeting someone.”
