This project contributes to the following global goals
Learning Outcomes
Students will be able to identify and describe how a shared global challenge affects their local school and community, and recognize similarities and differences with their international partner class's findings.
Students will be able to apply critical thinking to compare local and international perspectives on the global challenge, and collaborate with peers to develop and present practical solutions through a joint awareness campaign.
Skills to develop
Project Activities
Meet Your Partner Class & Choose Our Challenge
Students introduce themselves through a short video or written message and vote together on which global challenge to investigate. The teacher facilitates a live video call or asynchronous exchange to help both classes agree on the topic and get excited about working together.
Investigate Locally: Survey, Observe & Interview
Students explore their own school and community to spot signs of the chosen challenge. They conduct simple surveys, take photos, make observations, or interview classmates and family members to gather real evidence of how the issue affects their local area.
Share Findings & Compare Perspectives
Each class presents their local findings to their partner class through photos, data, and observations. Students then work together to identify surprising similarities and differences between the two communities, building understanding of how the same global challenge shows up in different places.
Brainstorm & Design Solutions Together
Mixed teams (combining students from both classes) brainstorm realistic, practical solutions to the challenge. Teams use shared documents, recorded videos, or a live online meeting to exchange ideas, discuss trade-offs, and agree on 2–3 solutions they think could actually work in their communities.
Create & Launch a Joint Awareness Campaign
Teams create campaign materials in English such as posters, infographics, short videos, or social-media posts that promote their solutions. Each class takes one small action at school (e.g., sharing the campaign, starting a pledge, or running a workshop), then reflects on what they learned and how working with their international partners changed their thinking.
