Global Encounters

Offered by TakingITGlobal and the Centre for Global Education, the Global Encounters program brings together students from across the world through live video conferences that explore global issues and the potential youth have to shape a better common future. These exciting events connect youth to expert guest speakers who share their experiences with students on the topics of human rights, climate change, HIV/AIDS, and more. With lots of events being offered for high school and middle school classes on a variety of global issues, there's sure to be an event for your class. Sign up today!

Global Dignity Day Canada - Call for Nominations

Global Dignity Day Canada brings together role models from across the country to inspire and encourage students to make dignified, positive, and inclusive life choices as they develop into their best selves. The goal of this year's event is to highlight dignity as a vehicle to unify and broaden our sense of community and instill the notion that one's actions can impact and enrich the lives of others. We're looking for youth role models who are examples of living with dignity to be featured in the Global Dignity Day Canada celebrations this October. If you would like to nominate someone, email us at [email protected]! Would you like your school to be part of the festivities? Register your class to participate in the celebrations.
