Students, teachers, and organizations will get online to celebrate global collaboration on September 21st, 2017, as back-to-school season begins in the northern hemisphere.

On this day (and beyond), experienced global educators and other professionals will design and host connective projects and events and invite public participation. The primary goals of this whole day event are to demonstrate the power of global connectivity in classrooms, schools, institutions of informal learning and universities around the world, and to introduce others to the tools, resources, projects, and networks that are available to educators today.

This is an opportunity for educators new to globally connected teaching and learning to participate in virtual activities designed by more experienced teachers. It's also a great way for educators running ongoing global projects to find project partners!

Note that there may be some activities scheduled on different days during the same week due to the Jewish holidays occurring around the same time. Everyone is welcome to participate as they see fit during the week surrounding Global Collaboration Day

Global Collaboration Day is produced by the Global Education Conference Network and GlobalEd Events. Follow us on Twitter at @GlobalEdCon and use the hashtag #globaled17 for all Global Collaboration day social media posts.
