Global Hunger

Youth investigate their community’s relationship to global hunger by exploring how it produces, consumes, and wastes food. This course brings to life everyday food items, engages youth in exploring local food rituals, applies root cause analysis to this global issue, and inspires youth to make small changes in their local communities to reduce food waste. Learn the interconnected nature of the meals and the responsibility to help eliminate food waste and food loss.

Global Nomads uses the power of storytelling to promote empathy and bring social topics to life through day-to-day realities. Participating youth read authentic, impactful stories from youth participants around the world that reveal deep truths about global issues, then enhance the conversation by sharing their own stories with fellow Student to World users. All participants are eligible to participate in moderated live conversations with other youth from around the world.
