The complexities of a globalized world mean that it is more important than ever to make international issues a part of K-12 education. This session will explore and identify strategies and practical activities which strengthen a school’s curriculum so that students are challenged and empowered to make the choice to become global citizens.  Cultural and perspective awareness, multilingualism,  critical thinking and conceptual understanding – all hallmarks of an IB education - will be the focus of these strategies and activities.
