History

History of Project
In GLIP 2010, multi-national groups worked together online to get to know one another, examine world problems and share proposed solutions. Students came to better understand the complexity that nations and cultures face when problem solving in the 21 st  century. This pilot project was a cooperative effort among teachers and students in Raleigh, NC, St. Petersburg, Russia, Honolulu, Hawaii, and Doha, Qatar. GLIP brought together groups of people who were of different ages, different places in their lives, and certainly different locations in the world.

Phase One of the project enabled students to think deeply about personal identity and share their views and personalities with others. Phase Two was a cross-cultural getting to know you. Students found out about partners across the globe, their towns or cities and their views about the world. Phase Three offered a collaborative platform for working together to devise solutions to big global problems.
