Full Session Description (as long as you would like):
Global Encounters provides students with an opportunity to address the world's great challenges through collaborating with peers and global leaders. It allows them to debate global issues needing attention, raising awareness and thus gives a platform to work together and create change. This panel presentation will be a dynamic conversation between educators, students, and guest speakers, all being participants of the program. The session will be facilitated by the two organizational program partners, TakingITGlobal and The Centre for Global Education. Members of the panel will share their stories from previous video conferences: human dignity and rights, revolutionary change in the Middle East, environmental sustainability, media literacy, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and more. A conversation about the journey that takes place for each Global Encounters event will take place, including challenges and lessons learned from the perspective of each panelist.
