BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 CALSCALE:GREGORIAN PRODID:iCalendar-Ruby BEGIN:VEVENT CATEGORIES:Workshops & Classes,Exhibition DESCRIPTION:Global education event for K-6 graders\n\n \n\nProject Overview \n\nGlobal education is defined as any program that aims to develop global competence: the attitude\, skills\, and knowledge needed to understand and participate in a globally connected world. The needs for global education at P12 schools are clearly addressed by the Ohio Department of Education as well-developed global competencies could prepare Ohio citizens to live\, w ork and participate in the global economy. To develop students’ global com petencies\, the Ohio Department of Education proposes to connect the classr oom to the work and make students and teaching go global. The ultimate goa l is to make students understand the world by meeting and interacting with people from other countries. \n\nAligning with the Ohio Department of Edu cation’s proposed global education\, we are delighted to hold a global educ ation program (Global Education Fairs) at Athens P-12 schools\, with a coll aboration with the AAPI-LEAD organization at Ohio University\, The Center f or International Studies\, and the Athens City School District in the local community. \n\nEvent Goals \n\nPromote P-12 students’ multicultural awaren ess. Increase P-12 students’ knowledge of diverse cultural groups and count ries. Develop P-12 students’ globalization citizenship. Foster a diverse\, inclusive\, and culturally responsive environment at P-12 schools. Provide opportunities for Ohio University international students and scholars to en gage with local P-12 schools and increase their sense of belonging to the l ocal community. Event Activities: \n\nInternational students at Ohio Univ ersity will present their cultures and engage P-12 students in hands-on act ivities to learn about different countries. Each fair will last about 2 ho urs. \n\nStudents will be given a blank passport at the beginning of the f air. They will tour different “countries” (the exhibition tables from dif ferent cultural groups) and learn about their cultures. They need to compl ete some cultural learning activities or pass a quiz to get a visa (stamp) from that country. When they collect all stamps\, they can be granted a ce rtificate of multicultural education.
