‘’Global Classroom’’ is a Global Community Development Project initiated by AIESEC CS for the 4th time.

As we all are aware of, illiteracy or lack of English knowledge and IT has proven to be a major issue in our society today. AIESEC CS is addressing these issues through the project “Global Classroom’’ 30 Exchange participants will be assigned to teach English and IT to 10 schools with underprivileged students. Project will have a reach of over 1000 underprivileged students.

Project duration is 3 months.

Even though there are a lot of other similar projects that concentrate on underprivileged children, “Global Classroom” differs from others because this project is done by AIESEC with the collaboration of foreign interns. This opportunity provides a different and a memorable experience for the underprivileged children and also gives a life-changing experience for the foreign interns. This project makes a way to understand about the global education system in order to improve local education system to the international level and guide to improve leadership skills.
