Session Description
Working with over 15,000 educators globally and reaching over 600,000 young people across 100 countries, Generation Global has equipped young people with core communication skills and the opportunity to engage meaningfully with their global peers on the issues that matter to them most. The online dialogue spaces (written space and video conferences) within the programme focus on 13 contemporary topics (many aligned with the UN SDGs), such as Climate Change, the Rights of Girls and Women, Fake News and Social Media, Health and Wellbeing, and support young people to think critically, actively listen, and think globally about a topic, whilst building their confidence in understanding and communicating their ideas and beliefs.
