One To World New York, New York

 One To World’s Global Classroom connects New York City youth with trained, international university students through interactive workshops to engage students in learning about world cultures and global issues. Through face-to-face interactions and meaningful cross-cultural exchange, today’s NYC K-12 students develop the skills, awareness, and understanding to become global citizens in their communities, both locally and worldwide. Our workshops are based on meaningful exchanges with international university students and visiting Fulbright scholars (known as “Global Guides”) in interactive presentations and discussions with K-12 students. Global Guides bring insights into classrooms based on their own lived experiences and serve as role models for children and youth. Global Classroom educators work directly with program partners, classroom teachers, and after school coordinators to tailor our curriculum to schools’ specific needs and interests and incorporate diverse global perspectives in reaching their curricular goals.
