We invite your students to partner with students in the US, through eco-journalism, community action, and service learning.
In partnership with smallFEAT Education, iEARN and YouthCaN

The program will initially connect students in the US and Brazil to facilitate environmental journalism, peer consultancy and shared documentation of actions and solutions through multiple social media platforms. The plan then intends to expand to include students in European, Asian, African and other countries in Central and South America
GenNXT Green News is a “boots in the mud,” hands-on project that can be incorporated in STEM, Social Studies and ELA/ELL/ESL/TOEFL classrooms. The program integrates service learning, place-based learning and civic participation locally and globally to enhance students' lives.

- Increase capacity through peers consultants, community partners, mentors and experts.

- Apply academic, personal and civic rigor to all processes and products of the project
