Take Action Global’s Taking Action Together engages high school teachers and students in Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, and Yemen in a virtual exchange that prepares them to lead their schools and communities in implementing and measuring the impact of student-designed projects addressing the world. Participants will join a network of 100 schools in 37 countries that connects educators and students to explore the causes and effects of issues facing communities, develop solutions, and take action together over the course of an academic year. By engaging with peers in other countries and learning from subject matter experts, participants develop a deeper understanding of their role in the greater global landscape.

Activities

Taking Action Together is designed for high school students to lead impactful projects that seek to change behaviors within their schools and communities. Over the 10-week virtual exchange, participants engage in schoolwide data collection, localized research and logo design, and community actions. A key part of the program for students is the involvement of their parents and local community members in learning activities and taking actions to improve their local regions. Educators, students and community members gain knowledge and understanding of American, Egyptian, Emirati, and Yemeni education practices. Educators receive certifications and join a global community of practice.
