From Our Youth & Educators

Youth, Iraq

“I thought architecture is only about how to build nice buildings, but I have learned a lot of new things about architecture including but not limited to how to make our homes more functional, Efficient, Sustainable and energy saving.”

Youth, South Africa

“Attending the live event made my day. After signing up, I was skeptical about joining the call because I thought it would be with people who would not consider anything I shared. But to my surprise, I got the opposite of what I expected. I was welcomed to a LIVE session. The host did an amazing job of making everyone feel welcome. I like how I was allowed to share my ideas and have my thinking stretched because for me it showed how much value I was bringing to the session. The courses are amazing. I love how they all give the perspective of people from all over the world.”

Educator, Morocco

“I've been working on GNG Programs for 3 years now and I believe that all the Moroccan students should participate in such interesting programs to get out of their narrow zones and think globally and be global citizens.”

Educator, USA

“This program was a wonderful way for students to access global issues without feeling overwhelmed. It gave them an easy entry point into discussions of larger themes. It allows them to take objects and ideas they are familiar with and leverage them to ask questions about and discuss larger issues about which they have less knowledge.”
