Our Wildwood, Summer 2018, Volume 43

K-12 FEATURE by Lori Strauss, Associate Head of School

Building Global Citizens

G

lobal citizenship is not a buzzword or fad in education. At Wildwood, it’s a commitment to cultivating generations of socially responsible students who understand that the world is a complex web of interdependencies. We are proud of the work we are doing in this sphere, work that stems from both the global context and our school’s mission and core values. For the last two decades, leading thinkers and policymakers have discussed the implications of our increasingly interconnected world. Governments, NGOs, and corporations are working collaboratively on creative solutions to widespread poverty, hunger, civil war, economic crisis, and human rights violations.
