On Friday, I met with one of the superintendents of the WRDSB and discussed my hope of developing glocal perspective building. He was quite excited about the potential of working together as they explore this area for their school board. They are hosting a "Me to We" day (Free the Children) with Al Gore, Jesse Jackson... in mid-February and that's a great start! Click below to see more details:
Me to We Day - Kitchener Waterloo
I've done a number of presentations in local schools about glocal and see great potential for the future!
"Global" and "local" are constructs which no longer adequately capture our lived experience. "Glocal" attempts to capture the melding of international and local realities. This blog provides an opportunity to consider how we can develop glocal thinking and encourage others to do so as well.
