OUR
MISSION
Global Education Allies curates immersive experiences at diverse locations, transcending traditional classroom boundaries, and creates spaces for educators, students, and community leaders to lead meaningful conversations on a global level. Our mission is to create adaptive, inclusive, compassionate, and culturally-responsive learning environments that empower individuals to collaboratively address 21st-century challenges.
Our Focus
GEA believes travel and learning should be fun, meaningful and investigative. Our investigative trips often take us to locations that excel in the following ways: They empower teachers, value student voice, encourage skills for a sustainable future, value diverse knowledge systems, nurture compassionate classrooms, celebrate 21st century skills, facilitate culturally and ecologically responsive teaching and support overall innovative teaching practices.
Our Guiding Principles
We do this through our 4 guiding principles:
-
Build a reciprocal exchange of ideas and best practices at the locations we visit
-
Value the relationships we build at every school and community we connect with
-
Create an environment of reflection on our investigative journeys
-
Foster mutual respect and enhance that respect through a rich library of resources and optional study materials for before and after our programs
