Online Opportunities
A common misconception is that students must travel to build international understanding. Yet none of the top five effective approaches to building students’ global competence require students to travel overseas.
Researchers from Harvard University studied more than 11,000 teenagers and nearly 2,000 teachers in Round Square schools. They found that students’ global competence is best developed through:
- learning about different cultural perspectives;
- celebrating cultural diversity;
- discussing world events;
- learning how to solve conflicts;
- volunteering and community service.
Round Square’s online opportunities allow students to learn, celebrate and discuss to improve their international understanding. These opporuntiies include our engaging RS Study Labs and interactive RS Zoom Postcards,
RS Study Labs offer immersive, student-led sessions on diverse topics, fostering deep learning and global perspectives. RS Zoom Postcards connect peers worldwide in real-time, sharing insights and experiences on culture, global issues, and more. These online platforms empower students to expand their horizons and build their global networks, and enhance their understanding.
