Before the pandemic, plans were put in place to shift our GCW trips to be more volunteer-based and environmentally conscious. Last year, we were excited to share this move with our community towards developing trips that ‘give back’ to the community and match the vision and mission of ISB. Additionally, during the first semester, we put together a small sub-committee from our student council representatives to find a new name for our Global Citizenship Week
We strongly believe in the purpose behind running these trips. We know they create meaningful and transferable experiences that engage our students in collaborative learning opportunities to deepen understanding of local communities, cultures and the environment by developing appropriate skills and attitudes through humanitarian action.
At the moment, GCW stands for Global Citizenship Week. This sub-committee was tasked to find a name that best works with our new philosophy for these trips.
Last week, we sent out a survey to our HS students to select a name which best suits our ISB community and connects with the purpose of the week.
And the results are in….
