International School Partnerships help build global competence and broaden students’ perspectives. The Center has launched 30 International School Partnerships between middle and high schools in North Carolina and schools in Denmark.
Learning with – and not just about – students in other countries helps provide young people in North Carolina with important 21st Century skills like working in multi-national teams across cultures. Through the Center’s Denmark School Partnerships, students have
- traveled to Denmark, many of them journeying outside North Carolina for the first time
- studied the European Union, a strategic economic and education partner of North Carolina’s
- mastered use of technologies like webconferencing to communicate directly with a culture very different from their own
