Global Voices is the new name for the range of Creative Connection’s exchange programming focused on creative expression and student voices.

Global Voices delivers global understanding through interactive classroom partnerships, where students engage through art and live videoconferencing. This peer-to-peer approach encourages students to share their experiences, perspectives, and questions.

The ultimate goal of Global Voices is to transform global engagement into empathetic global citizenship, inspiring students to care – and to take an active role in their communities in an interconnected world.

Our programs vary on the level of partner engagement and collaboration. They range from one-hour workshops to ten-day student tours.

Educators can enroll in the program that best suits their needs. Our current programs include:

• ArtLink – Our original virtual exchange program, inviting students in partner classes to give voice to their culture and stories through the creation and sharing of art
• Ethics Lab – A virtual exchange program using the transformative power of educational theater to nurture ethical thinking and global empathy
• TheaterConnect: Bridging Cultural Divides – A virtual exchange between partner classes utilizing theater, storytelling, and music to explore cultural heritage and/or social issues
• Workshops
  • Ugandan Performance Workshops – A virtual session featuring a performance by talented Ugandan students followed by live interactive experiences with those students
