Welcome

The 2009-2010 Global Program celebrated graduation on August 6, 2010, but each project is continuing to pursue partnerships and funding. After initial design and piloting between the summer of 2009 and the spring of 2010, each project team updated their plans during the 2010 summer residency in Geneva. For the latest proposals, you may download a set of 1-page project descriptions (5MB, pdf format), or view project intro videos. Detailed proposals and budgets are available on request.

While each project is unique, each focuses on using technology to create new educational activities that connect learners to current knowledge and issues of global importance.

We invite you to join us in helping these projects to grow and evolve. If you would like more information about becoming a participant, supporter, or collaborator for any of the projects, please use the contact information found within each project description, or email Jeff Kupperman (jkupp [at] umflint [dot] edu) or Sharman Siebenthal Adams (sharmans [at] umflint [dot] edu).

To date, partners and collaborators have included: Commune du Grand-Saconnex (Switzerland), DevInfo, Fédération des Institutions Internationales Semi-officielles et Privées Établies à Genève (FIIG), International Labor Association, John Knox Center, Laogai Research Foundation, Parks and Museum of Cozumel (Mexico), United Nations Association of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, UNICEF, and the World Federation of United Nations Associations
