Global Classroom Conference
The Global Classroom Partnership is an international initiative begun 20 years ago. Students from participating schools around the globe research and prepare assigned tasks on a set theme to present at the conference. The emphasis is on sharing learning between schools, with the ethos that students can ‘learn locally but think globally’. The theme for 2022 was ‘Ways of Learning’. UCSSC hosted the annual Global Classroom Conference (online) in March 2022. Conference participants reflected on past and present experiences in learning and how different ways of learning help shape a cross-cultural collective.
UC SSC Lake Ginninderra attended the 2023 Conference, also online in March 2023. The Conference was hosted by the Czech Republic members. The theme in 2023 was 'Peace'

What does the Global classroom Partnership program offer?

Global Classroom is an initiative whereby students from partner schools spanning eight countries and four continents converge to collaborate and share ideas on educational themes. Annual conferences are held in participating countries alternatively. These conferences provide opportunities for students to speak on matters that are important to them, brainstorm current global environmental and political topics, share unique cultures and establish friendships with like-minded students from around the globe.

This is an enrichment opportunity provided to Academic Excellence Program Participants and any other interested students.
