Mulgrave School - Global Education and Outreach

Global Education and Outreach

Mulgrave’s Global Education & Outreach programme (GEO) is a K-12 global citizenship organisation that facilitates global awareness, engagement, and experiential service learning through the classroom, community, and excursions, including international trips. It is driven by the 21st century ideal of “global citizenshift” – the need for greater mindful, active, and compassionate engagement in social and environmental responsibility and true world citizens. GEO seeks to empower youth as “changemakers,” global stewards, social innovators and humanitarian leaders who learn, collaborate and act with others to do social good, to make our world a better and more peaceful place, locally and internationally. The programme embodies the ethos of holistic education. It is firmly grounded in Mulgrave’s core values and intertwined within the International Baccalaureate philosophy and IB Learner Profile. GEO programmes also support the Mulgrave MYP and CAS eFolio programmes as well as the Duke of Edinburgh Awards. GEO’s core educational programmes encompass the following six key elements:

• Global education curricular and student life links;
• Community engagement and action (at school and beyond);
• Global citizenship (Oxfam);
• Authentic, experiential service learning through local and international excursions;
• Student-centred learning and connections, particularly with schools;
• Integration of 21st century skills.

Mulgrave has forged a partnership with Free the Children’s Me to We, a sister social enterprise of Free the Children, that creates innovative service learning programming for youth to make a difference in the world, with 50% of all profits from their ventures reinvested in Free the Children charitable programming.
