What is GlobalCampus? GlobalCampus connects young people with universities around the world to help them find the best opportunities for their future, wherever located.

How does it work? GlobalCampus is an online community: students and institutions can create a profile and connect. Student profiles work like CVs. Students can indicate the schools they have attended, their personal achievements, their aspirations and their preferred destinations to study. They can also add sample works and videos to present themselves and their interests. University profiles are generated directly by a university’s community - staff, faculty, current students and alumni. They feature both subjective information, like articles and presentation videos, and objective information, like admission requirements and course synopses. On GlobalCampus students can express their talent to receive offers from universities around the world, while universities can communicate their best assets to tudents in any country.

What are the next steps? We are now working on adding scholarship providers, so that once registered a student will know also where there are funds available for her. (Did you know that every year hundreds of millions of dollars worth of scholarships go unclaimed? Thousands of people are eligible to receive financial aid to study somewhere in the world right now, but they simply don’t know about it. We would like to change that).

全球学习社区

今年在我们学校，我们都有一位 “反思伙伴”， 每周我们和这位伙伴就自己的教学实践和课堂学习进行批判性谈话。在这些对话中，我不断想到学生们如何鼓励我。学生们可以做很多让人惊奇的事情。我们工作的一部分就是帮助他们找到让他们茁壮成长的东西——他们热衷的东西。

在过去几年里，这一直是我教学的重点。我们班全是男生。我们花很多时间维持很铁的“团队”关系，还对男生和男人的意义也进行了具体探讨。我们探讨了当男孩不意味着“愣头青”(至少不是所有时间)，探讨了不断挑战自己、不断上进，跳出自己的舒适地带等需求。这正是我想示范的东西，在此方面学生们做得越来越好。接受这些挑战产生了非常宝贵的学习机会，而且也使孩子们做出了鼓舞人心的努力。我愿意借此机会与你们分享。
