BRIDGES GLOBAL CITIZENS PROGRAM
The Bridges Global Citizens Program connects middle and high school classrooms in Seattle, Washington, USA, India, Peru, South Africa, Guatemala and other countries.
Teachers and students can access digital stories that have been produced by students all over the world, and access our curriculum and guidelines for successful digital storytelling projects in the classroom. Using our story guides, students can explore rich multicultural content that is important to their global peers. This primary source can be woven into any curriculum to enrich learning with content produced by students from a wide variety of cultures.
The Bridges website allows classes to connect with other Bridges classrooms around the world (in both the Bridges Ambassador Program and Bridges Global Citizens Program) to post messages and share their work in our password-protected discussion forums. Teachers will also have access to a curriculum kit, including DVD with digital stories and printed curriculum guides, and other Bridges online curriculum and resources throughout the year.
Still accepting classrooms outside the USA for 2010 program.
The annual membership fee for the Bridges Global Citizens program is $200 per classroom, dependent on each individual school’s ability to pay (“sliding scale”).
For more information or to join this program, email tania@bridges2understanding.org, and in the subject line, please enter “Join Bridges Global Citizens Program.”
