VIRTUAL PROGRAM

Mariya Newriwala, GCC Qualified Facilitator

Ms. Mariya Newriwala, Educator, Acropolis Enlightening Wisdom, Indore reflects on her learning with Global Up GCC Educator Program.

“My journey with AFS was very successful I was very much grateful for this opportunity and have experienced great exposure with my colleagues and facilitator.

I have learned and experienced great things during my journey which is very useful in my professional career as well as my personal life. All the modules were insightful and inspiring to me. I have learned many things such as the importance of suspending judgments, accepting all cultures and being aware about perception of each other

Here's to the great interactive sessions, especially the dialogue sessions. They were really helpful and amazing; these sessions were very happening where we could share our life experiences and could hear others experiences as well”

Effect+ for Classroom Program 2022-23 an international capacity building program by AFS International engages Educators from 25+ countries worldwide to do a 5-week online Global Competence Course and attend weekly live sessions where they get an opportunity to connect with educators from around the world. Here is what Ms. Anima Choudhury, an Educator from Strawberry Field High School, Chandigarh has to say about the program...

My association with AFS began with the enrolment into Effect+ for Classroom 22-23. It all started with a Kick-off session, where we interacted with several educators from countries across the world. It was quite an enriching experience. The breakout room discussions allowed us to let go of our inhibitions and share our experiences, best practices, and aspects of global citizenship, cultural diversity, stereotypes, gender equality and much more.

A set of modules needed to be completed before each virtual interaction. Bringing the teaching fraternity together to learn from each other and be better educators was the most interesting part of the program.
