It's Time to GLOW!

The Global Learning for an Open World (GLOW) Conference is a pioneering virtual gathering dedicated to promoting sustainable development through innovative education. It spotlights the cultivation of global competencies, expanding the horizon for cross-border collaboration, equipping learners for dynamic global citizenship, and ensuring equitable access to quality education for everyone.

On September 6th, we will be hosting an informational webinar for those interested in getting involved with GLOW. Register here for this event and learn how to get involved as an attendee, volunteer, and/or presenter.

The Global Education Conference was the predecessor to Global Learning for an Open World. In 2022, it was relaunched as GLOW.
