Broadening and deepening student perspectives on their path to developing into citizens of the world is a key facet of our mission at NSA to prepare students for success in their next steps.Our innovative Global Citizenship program engages students in the study of the eight facets of Global Citizenship, while strengthening the knowledge that these facets are not simply a class, but critical elements to thrive in and contribute to an increasingly complex world. As part of this program, our entire community takes on a different facet in two-day workshops eight times per year.

Teacher “owners” of each facet – which include Human Rights, Diversity, Conflict Resolution and Digital Citizenship – design and facilitate these workshops, engaging students in real, hands-on learning while investigating local and global issues.

Our most recent workshop, focusing on Ecological Stewardship, included an analysis of the documentary Your Environmental Road Trip (available here: http://www.yert.com/film.php), and an afternoon Skype interview with the filmmakers on their inspiration and experiences making the film!
