In those inaugural comments, I made a first attempt to outline what
global education is. I said, “A global education is much more than
studying abroad or developing exchange programs. It is an education
that ensures that students will be able to succeed in a world marked by
interdependence, diversity and rapid change. A global education is one
that provides knowledge and understanding of cultures, languages,
geography and global perspectives. Most importantly, a global education
is one that enables students to understand their roles in a global
community and teaches them how their actions can affect citizens
throughout the world.” I also might add that it demonstrates how events
around the world can affect students in their own lives and therefore
cannot be ignored

Looking at daily life in foreign lands reveals a colorful spectrum of inspiring metaphors for the shifts we need to make in education. Often what we may find initially chaotic, disorienting and strange in other countries can actually spark new ways of thinking about teaching and learning. Through the voices of teachers and students from around the world, we'll examine the unique aptitudes which allow successful expats to thrive in any environment. These are exactly the skills that future students and teachers will need to confidently enter the digital, global, converging, collaborative world of tomorrow - wherever they might be physically located.
