Teach English using authentic youth stories about today’s pressing social issues.
Student to World online courses from Global Nomads Group use youth storytelling to bring social issues to life through day-to-day realities. These are the perfect way to engage English Language Learners with timely, relevant topics.
Each course provides a topic overview, introduces key concepts and vocabulary, and offers real, impactful stories from other youth course participants around the world.
Youth can enhance the story exchange by sharing their own experiences with their global peers.
These courses are ideal for in-person and virtual classrooms, adult-led youth groups, and individual learners ages 13 to 19.

“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.”
