We know they’ve had a wonderful time, done a brilliant job, shopping , cultural activities…. and here you have the proof of it.
Very well done to you all
Hello to all and a happy spring! The link below leads to a full recording of the speech Ambassador Sichan Siv delivered at the Fundación Botín during the opening ceremonies of Global Classrooms Cantabria 2013. Very inspiring!
Good morning! Below you’ll find a link to the interview with Ambassador Sichan Siv done by the fantastically talented and capable 2013 Global Classrooms press corps in conjunction with Burbuja Films. A truly lovely product; congratulations to all the students who worked so hard!
Attached are some photos of the wonderful students we have working on the GC Press Corps this year.
Here’s a short article on the recent Alisal, Torres Quevedo, Cantabria, and Villajunco mini-conference, which also gives a brief overview of GC. Good publicity!

Per our meeting yesterday, I’m beginning here a list of helpful research links. We’ll continue to add to this list throughout the year; send suggestions!
http://youthforhumanrights.org/ Useful for relating human rights to the MDGs. Here you’ll find videos for all the different human rights, and a longer video telling the history of human rights and how the Universal Declaration was created.
http://www.rbm.who.int/ Rock Back Malaria: The Global Partnership for a Malaria-free World.
http://www.unwomen.org/ Everything related to the status of women; obviously quite useful for the related MDGs.
http://www.unifem.org/gender_issues/ Includes several topics related to gender equality and the improvement of the status of women.
http://www.cgdev.org/section/topics/education Education and development.
http://www.ibge.gov.br/paisesat/main.php Interactive map exploring the MDGs.
For anyone curious about the specific roles and duties of each member of the dais, attached is a graphic organizer detailing the responsibilities of the chair, director, rapporteur, and the conference services team. This information can be found in the GC manual in more detail, but in this graphic format it’s very manageable for students.
Good morning! I am attaching here a sample statement from a non-state actor. You’ll notice that it’s quite similar to a country position paper, when it comes down to it. Feel free to use it with your students as an example.
