The International Global Citizen's Award (IGC) provides a flexible framework for structuring a meaningful course or after-school activity based on global and local citizenship.
This workshop will present a case study of a one-quarter middle school elective course that aims to achieve the student learning goals of the IGCA, while also training students to run their own service-oriented student council.

Students explore:

• Cultures other than their own
• Global footprint of consumer choices they make
• Environmental responsibility
• Influence and involvement with others
• Personal community service
• Advocacy, persuasion and promotion

Students may also have the option of pursuing the Bronze IGCA award through their participation in this course.
