Schools global collaboration opportunity

New Zealand schools are invited to participate in a global education initiative, The Four Nations Classroom.

The Centre for Global Education

The Centre for Global Education facilitates programming for over 10,000 students every year from every corner of the planet. These programmes break down the traditional barriers of time, culture, and location, creating a truly global classroom.

The Four Nations Classroom

Terry Godwaldt, Director of Programming at The Centre for Global Education in Edmonton, Canada has offered an open invitation to New Zealand Secondary Schools to participate in the Four Nations Classroom initiative.

The Four Nations Classroom partners schools from Pakistan to Mexico, and Jordan to China, for cultural exchanges and collaborative projects. Countries are put into groups of four and rotate through each of their partners between September and December. With their partners, they make their way through an established curriculum while working on a series of cross cultural collaborations.
