Student Opportunities

GEBG currently offers a few select student opportunities in support of its member schools and their partners:

+ Student Action Summits

+ Virtual Student Dialogues

+ Global Competence Certificate Program for Students

+ Student Bilingual Publishing Opportunity

+ Salomon Prize for Student Expression and Thought on Global Issues

Student Action Summits

 

Students are actively seeking ways to both engage with the pressing global issue of concern to them and to connect with peer student leaders at other schools who share their purpose. Consequently, GEBG is piloting a new series of primarily regional, student-centered summits. Over the course of these one-day events, high-school student leaders collaborate, share, and engage in dialogue around their efforts and actions as global citizens. While these events are designed to be regional in scope, they are open to participation from all GEBG Member Schools and their partners, and we welcome presentation proposal submissions from any GEBG Member School.

This summit’s focus will be Arts and Innovation for an Equitable and Sustainable Future, chosen in partnership with the hosting school.

The Student Action Summit: Arts and Innovation for an Equitable and Sustainable Future is designed for high school students passionate about using creativity and technology to address today’s most pressing social and environmental issues. This dynamic event brings together young innovators, artists, and activists from diverse backgrounds to explore the intersection of arts, technology, sustainability, and social justice.

Global Competence Certificate for Students

GEBG is partnering with AFS to offer a Global Competence Certificate Program for students ages 14-17. The program includes a combination of AFS-developed asynchronous online coursework as well as synchronous GEBG-facilitated dialogues. Students in this program all come from GEBG Member Schools and will interact with one another in a GEBG-exclusive asynchronous platform and in dialogues facilitated by trained GEBG facilitators.

The Global Up Teen program is a one-of-a-kind, virtual program, open to teens (aged 14-17) to develop key global skills for the emerging future and build bridges across cultures, all while becoming part of a truly global community. Global Up Teen features a closed, minors-only platform for connecting and sharing with other learners worldwide.

Participants who complete the program will receive a certificate to accompany the new knowledge, skills, and attitudes developed through the program. Completion of the program involves doing all of the asynchronous coursework as well as attending one of each of the four Facilitated Dialogue Sessions (each offered twice during the times below). Students can also participate in the program without earning a certificate, if they so desire.

PROGRAM CURRICULUM

DISCOVER

  1. Welcome & Roadmap
  2. Metaphors of Culture
  3. Who Am I?
  4. Leaving your Comfort Zone
  5. Exploring Perspectives

DEEPEN

  1. Dealing with Conflict
  2. Coping & Being Resilient
  3. Understanding Inequality

DEBRIEF

  2. Skilling Up for the Future
  3. Taking Action

During each of the live Facilitated Dialogue Sessions (FDSs), students will engage in full-group facilitated discussions, led by a trained GEBG-AFS facilitator, as well as indirectly supervised breakout discussions—the facilitator will remain in the main Zoom room, but students will be alone in 4-6 student breakout rooms, with the ability to return to the Main Room at any time. At least two adults from GEBG will be present in the Main Room during these sessions at all times.

Students need to be registered by a supervising adult at their school who will be responsible for supporting their school’s participant/s. This support is mostly through facilitating registration and helping to respond to any needs that might come up, but these adults do not need to attend any of the live dialogue sessions or to take the course themselves.

+ FORMAT: Asynchronous online coursework (10-12 hours) and four synchronous, virtual dialogues
+ DATES: *NEW* Customized school course available – please email Melissa Brown, GEBG Director of Intercultural Programs for more information. The next open registration program is scheduled for summer 2025 // A certificate for the course requires full participation in 4 synchronous Facilitated Dialogue Sessions which cover 4 different content areas.
+ COST: $250 per participant, member schools only
+ AUDIENCE: Students ages 14-17

To navigate today’s political climate in a pluralistic world, it is essential that our students hone their intercultural communication and perspective-taking skills. GEBG’s Global Student Dialogues provide students the opportunity for dialogue and connection with peers from schools across North America and more than 22 countries around the world. Historically, these dialogues have addressed topics of global significance such as climate change and gender equality, topics related to global current events and UN Sustainable Development Goals in order to develop the student intercultural communication and perspective-taking.

With the guidance of facilitators, students engage in conversations in small groups, share their experiences and thoughts on the topic and practice essential skills related to respectful civil discourse. Students report that the two skills they most practice in this program are listening for understanding and listening with empathy.

Partnership Driven Dialogues

Integrating dialogue into the curriculum of a course or program allows educators to support participants in adequately preparing for, meaningfully engaging in, and thoughtfully debriefing an intercultural experience; however, one of the greatest challenges to doing so is the partnership development and logistical complexities required to make such an opportunity available to students across a school community.

This year GEBG is working to empower students and schools to take the lead in designing and facilitating rich, meaningful dialogues with their peers across the globe.  Dialogues will be hosted by schools who provide student facilitators and topic.  If your students are interested in hosting a dialogue or you would like additional details, please reach out to Melissa Brown, Director of Professional Learning and Intercultural Programs.

Upcoming Student Dialogues

Topics developed in partnership with GEBG Schools and their student leaders

Navigating School Life: The Impact of Gender Identity on Opportunities and Experiences

High School Intercultural Dialogue virtually hosted by student leaders from Friends Seminary, New York, NY

Understanding of gender identity has evolved so much since our generation has been in high school. That being said, it is crucial for us as students to have education and shared definitions around gender identity and for our school communities to have an understanding about gender bias and how it plays out in overt and subtle ways in our classrooms and schools. Some schools have approached this issue by creating supports that include faculty/staff/student bias training, affinity spaces, reporting structures and more, but not all schools have implemented initiatives like these and even when they are present, the impacts of gender bias are still felt in our communities. Have initiatives like these and/or other efforts made an impact in your school, and if so, how? What ways to support gender justice are schools overlooking or not implementing fully? How can we as students support one-another, educate ourselves and let the adults in our communities know what we need? How do we make it clear that this applies to everyone regardless of gender identity?

+ DATE: Tuesday, January 21, 2025
+ TIME: 10:00-11:00 AM Pacific / 1:00 PM-2:00 PM Eastern / 7:00-8:00 PM Central European

Civil Discourse and Freedom of Expression in an Increasingly Polarized World

High School Intercultural Dialogue virtually hosted by student leaders from Scarsdale High School, Scarsdale, NY

In this session, we will explore what freedom of expression looks like and the challenges it faces in our communities, states, countries and schools. We will consider where the line is between one person’s freedom and infringing on or offending others. Please join Scarsdale High School students in an exploration of definitions, challenges and needed protections in our current highly politicized and polarized world.  Is civil discourse a lost skill? Our goal for the dialogue is to take a deep dive into these issues and better understand what they look like in each of our  communities, with the hope of finding positive solutions. There will be a request for dialogue points and pathways of interest in preparation for our discussion.

Zero Hunger: Ensuring Food Access

High School Intercultural Dialogue virtually hosted by student leaders from Palmer Trinity School (Miami, FL)
Currently, over 820 million people around the world are experiencing hunger, and many others live in “food deserts,” areas with limited access to nutritious food—even in our own communities. By sharing our stories and perspectives, we can emphasize that hunger and access to nutritious food are issues that impact us locally, nationally, and globally. Join Palmer Trinity for a Student Hosted Dialogue on Tuesday, December 3rd, at 11:30 AM EST focused on Hunger and Food Access.

The Spread of Misinformation & Disinformation: From AI to Social Media

High School Intercultural Dialogue virtually hosted by student leaders from Miss Porter’s School (Farmington, CT, USA)

Did you know that while 96% of high school students in the U.S. struggle to accurately assess the credibility of online information, this also presents a unique opportunity for growth? As we navigate the vast world of media in our daily lives, it’s important to reflect on how the information we consume shapes our views of our communities and the world. By discussing the difference between misinformation and disinformation and by learning how to critically evaluate and interpret the sources of information we encounter, we can all become more informed, responsible consumers of media. Together, we will explore this critical issue and discover ways we can take action to promote truth and accuracy in the information we consume and share.

Student Action and Response to Extreme Weather Events

Virtually hosted by student leaders from The Wardlaw Hartridge School (NJ, USA) and The McDonough School (MD, USA)

Extreme weather events and natural disasters are becoming more frequent and intense. The wildfires in North America, the Mediterranean Basin, and Australia have devastated communities, while hurricanes are impacting people and economies across the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and the Atlantic basin. Prolonged drought in North America, South America, and Central Africa are straining water and food supplies. In large parts of Western North America, South Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, the heat has become unbearable, affecting lives in visible and not-so-visible ways. Reflecting on how we affect and are affected by these events can help us recognize and leverage our interconnectedness. Students will share how they are collaborating or can join efforts with local, national, and global organizations to contribute to collective action for positive change.

Intercultural Dialogue: A Field Guide for Educators & Schools

This over 100-page publication, the first of its kind in the K-12 Global Education field, helps educators and student leaders seeking to bring dialogue into their classrooms and programs access model practices that help their students and peers learn competencies like perspective-taking and intercultural communication. 22 schools from within the GEBG Network have contributed to this publication; from those 22 schools, 22 school educator-leaders and 54 student leaders were directly involved in the drafting of various sections of the publication throughout the course of the past two years. This publication will be accessible in the coming months.

With support from The Edward E. Ford Foundation, GEBG expanded the Global Student Dialogues program to focus on  intercultural dialogue and civil discourse and develop accompanying competency-based curricular resources adaptable for use by educators.

In 2022-23 GEBG partnered with  22 Leading Partner Schools, and engaged over 1000 middle and high school students from 10 different countries in active intercultural dialogue on global issues. We experimented with a number of models for our virtual dialogues, varying our timing; the length of each session; and also added student facilitators in late spring.

Student leaders  involved in the Student Leadership Council helped guide the topics and format of all our dialogues, as well as developed their leadership and facilitation skills in partnership with peers from over 20 different schools. Adult representatives serving on the Educator Advisory Council provided essential contributions towards our publication of a guidebook on Intercultural Dialogue for schools. The Council identified the areas of most meaningful growth, and drafted materials that will be shared with our wider independent school community next school year. The leadership and insight of this group guided our dialogues as well as provided insight that will shape student learning around intercultural dialogue at independent schools throughout North America and well beyond.

We extend our thanks to the student and faculty leaders at those schools.
