Global Nomads Group Co

Description

Founded in 1998, the Global Nomads Group (GNG) is a non-profit organization dedicated to heightening children's understanding and appreciation for the world and its people. Using interactive technologies such as videoconferencing, GNG brings young people together face-to-face to meet across cultural and national boundaries to discuss their differences & similarities, and the world issues that affect them. Global Nomads Group programs aim to: - Increase young people's knowledge of the world and its people - Increase collaboration and dialogue between students of different cultures and nationalities - Highlight critical world issues ranging from HIV/AIDS to global warming, to war - Provide an educational framework in which students can become active leaders in their own education To date, GNG participants have explored amazing places thousands of miles away, such as the ancient city of Petra in Jordan and the Mayan ruins of Copan in Honduras, while meeting and speaking directly with the young people living in those locations. Our programs have delved into highly complex issues like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, 9/11 and the war with Iraq, and have encouraged youth, tomorrow's leaders, to begin seeing themselves as citizens of the world.
