Welcome to the Global Concerns Classroom Student Action Center!
Have you ever thought that you’re too young to make a difference? Many students think that no one will listen to them. But the truth is, young people around the world are demonstrating their power to promote peace and global understanding. There are many ways to raise awareness about important global issues in your school and community.
We have compiled resources and information to help you learn more about global poverty and take action in your community. The list below contains links to all the resources and activities you'll need to take action and become a global citizen.
Explore the Issues
Currently, 1.2 billion people live on less than $1 each day. Can you imagine spending less than $1 a day on food, water, shelter, clothing, and transportation? How do you think that global poverty affects communities around the world? Explore the issues to learn more.
Global Awareness Days
The United Nations has identified days throughout the year to raise awareness about international issues. These days are recognized and celebrated internationally and provide an opportunity to link your awareness-raising activities with the actions of other committed global citizens around the world.
