“FACILITATING POSITIVE CHANGE”
Every young person benefits from learning about their own culture and how they connect with other societies and nations. From the conversations you have, to wall displays, to food festivals, or inviting in key partners, there are many strategies for developing global citizens. Guest Jesse Rizzo explains the 3 M’s of cultural awareness because all children deserve to learn about their heritage and have it honored.
Jesse Rizzo, Head of school at BASIS Independent Manhattan believes that our society and education system relies on too much on perfection. Schools can increase empathy, cultural understanding and even international test scores by teaching and understanding global citizenship and the value of diversity.
