About the innovation

Go! Global

“Go! Global“ is a virtual school exchange program which gives learners the possibility to share their experiences and thoughts on different topics beyond national borders. The program is primarily in schools in Germany, India, Mexico and South Africa but with a the opportunity to scale to schools worldwide through an online, virtual channel of communication.

Learners sustainable actions, grounded in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are shared with peers across the world, ror example school gardening and food production, or waste disposal and recycling. These  topics are common everywhere and concern everyone, irrespective of their country of origin.

Implementation steps

Have a look at the Go! Global Do it Yourself Manual

The Manual has been designed in form of an interactive mind map called "#OrganicLearning resource", so it can be explored in a flexible and intuitive way. Multipliers, who want to pass on the principle of Go! Global, will learn organically how to do a virtual exchange with their students in a Go! Global style.
