Global Engage

Welcome to the Global Engage website, which supports members of the IB community and others, and particularly teachers, in engaging with our global world.

Here you will find information, resources, ideas and opinions, links, and suggestions for action concerned with global issues - and reports of actions taken by the IB community.

The Global Engage website has developed from the IB community theme website, and most materials from that site have been carried forward here.

Use the four areas of the site: For teachers, For students, For everyone and Action by the IB community, to help guide navigation and any contributions you might wish to make.

Note that posts can only be made under one of the four areas, described in more detail below

For teachers

The area For teachers includes classroom resources, links to websites for use by you or with students, professional development materials and suggestions for action you can take individually as teachers, or with your students.

For students

The area For students provides information, resources, views and opinions, and suggestions for action specifically for students.

For everyone

The area For everyone is exactly that – it is of general interest. It includes information and resources about global issues relevant to everyone, and anyone can post their ideas, opinions, recommendations and suggestions for action.

Action by the IB community

Action by the IB community describes what we are doing or have done to address and engage with global issues. It is an area for us to post our reflections and reports on actions we are taking, or have undertaken (in the classroom, out of the classroom, at home, in our everyday lives, with others or on our own), and is open to all.

Examples: classes you have taught, activities undertaken by students, actions by individual members of the community.

Ultimately, this site is about encouraging us all to learn more about important global issues, and, where we can, to link our knowledge and understanding about a particular global issue with action to help address it.

Therefore, the site contains facts, information and opinions about a particular issue, but also suggestions on what relevant actions we can take.

We invite you to contribute. Please use the various categories when making a post. It will make it easier for people to search for relevant content later.
