The Institute of Global Education has created a learning experience that is global, experiential, Holistic and sustainable. So as to provide accessibility to all peoples, a pragmatic, individualized approach is used for determining prerequisites for study.
Through the World Core Curriculum the Institute offers a dynamic quality to education in a universal sense. Training and leadership are provided to those with interest but without the means or resources to access leading theory and strategies of emerging global unity.
Students become teachers and teachers become students. The Institute has created a cooperative process that emphasizes the nurturing of relationships, both inner-personal and inter-personal. Opportunities are provided for one-on-one situations and for the integration of skills on a collective, global level. A variety of internships are available for on-site experience. Attention is placed on learning effective skills for empowered global citizenship through local community activity.
The values that the Institute of Global Education teaches and the issues which its organizational format addresses are summarized in these words of Dr. Schneider, “Education is a potent force in shaping values and in harmonizing the forces of tradition and innovation. Educational efforts must be on a global basis and we must all come to think and act as world citizens.”
The Institute of Global Education aids in the development of thinkers, prepared as world citizens, to make constructive and peaceful contributions to the betterment of the planet and the human condition. Today, the future of the planet and life as we know it depends on the transformation of current thinking and behavior. Developing higher consciousness as the core foundation is an effective way to create the changes needed. The entire process is non-discriminatory, inclusive and eclectic.
