For globally educated, engaged, and empowered young people

FEATURED // 18 MARCH 2020
The IAYG Family’s mission is to advance geographic, environmental, and global citizenship education
Climate change. Changing development. Geopolitical tensions. Receding human rights.
Every child, student, and young person alive today will be profoundly impacted by global trends, geographic change, and environmental challenges. But in many of the world’s largest education systems, the students will receive only get a passing glance. Those students fortunate enough to proceed to university may never encounter global or environmental studies. And without conversations in communities, too many young people today lack meaningful exposure to world issues.
We believe that every young person should be able to learn about and engage in the world.
Notice: The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated significant changes to our programme planning and has cancelled a number of events. Please check iaygfamily.org/coronavirus for updates on pandemic impacts. We wish you the best of health and safety at this time, and strongly encourage team members to review national and international disease prevention guidelines.
