Description:
Founded in 1998, the Global Nomads Group (GNG) is a non-profit organization dedicated to heightening children's understanding and appreciation for the world and its people. Using interactive technologies such as videoconferencing, GNG brings young people together face-to-face to meet across cultural and national boundaries to discuss their differences & similarities, and the world issues that affect them. To date, GNG participants have explored amazing places thousands of miles away, such as the ancient city of Petra in Jordan, or the Mayan ruins of Copan in Honduras, while meeting and speaking directly with the young people living in those locations. Our programs have delved into highly complex issues like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, 9/11, or the war with Iraq, and encouraged youth, tomorrow's leaders, to begin seeing themselves as citizens of the world.

Educator Comments:
Our school has done several sessions with Global Nomads and each one was impressive. We had mixed middle school and high school audiences which worked surprisingly well. The moderator get the conversation going and the students were definitely engaged throughout the session.
