Our aim is to transform education systems around the world to be 21st century ready and help learners meet the Global Goals by incorporating intercultural learning and global competence development for all learners alongside literacy, numeracy and STEM. We do this through advocacy, research, training and educational programs that advance understanding, leadership and collaboration across differences.
Global Competence Certificate
Designed to support students participating in international education programs, the Global Competence Certificate (GCC) is a blended learning tool that builds global competence and the knowledge, skills, and understanding needed to create a more just and peaceful world. The GCC is available in 7 languages and independent research (Purdue University) demonstrates the program’s effectiveness. Find out more or contact Linda Stuart.
The AFS Effect+ Program
TheAFS Effect+ Programs help young people become active global citizens in their own communities by introducing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and how they can work together to help advance them. The Effect+ for the Classroom equips educators with the intercultural skills needed to address the SDGs with their students through a virtual teacher-tailored training, thanks to the support from The Sir Cyril Taylor Foundation.
