Imagine students connecting with peers across the globe to tackle real-world challenges. That’s what Blue Planet Global Education makes happen. Founded in 2008, we’re a non-profit that helps teachers bring the world into their classrooms through exciting international projects. Using the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals as our guide, we connect students from different countries so they can learn about global issues together, understand each other’s viewpoints, and brainstorm solutions for a better future.
In 2021, Blue Planet joined forces with the Center for Creative Education, an organization dedicated to bringing creativity and the arts into teaching. Our work fits perfectly with their mission, as we empower young people to explore global sustainability through engaging, collaborative projects that often involve the arts.
We believe this hands-on approach helps students become critical thinkers, develop their creativity and empathy, solve problems effectively, work well with others, and communicate clearly. Most importantly, it sparks a genuine curiosity about the world and inspires them to make a positive impact.
