NYIF is full of native French sharing their culture with one another; wouldn't you like a chance to share it with students in public schools around New York City?

Since 1985, One To World's Global Classroom has enabled international students and others to make lasting connections with young New Yorkers and their teachers. Through Global Classroom, internationals are trained as "Global Guides" to design and lead original curriculum-based workshops in K-12 classrooms and afterschool programs that are creative, engaging, and focused on an array of global and cultural themes.

One To World's Global Guides bring insights into classrooms based on their own experiences, serve as role models for newly arrived immigrant youth and American-born students alike, and help teachers incorporate diverse global perspectives in reaching their curricular goals. In bringing first-hand knowledge to a wide range of academic disciplines, Global Classroom helps students and teachers communicate across cultures to reduce the potential for misunderstanding and conflict based on racial, ethnic and cultural differences.

For the past 5 years, we've worked with the French Legion of Honor, to deliver a variety of workshops on French arts, history, politics and culture throughout the five boroughs of the city. We would love to invite any of you from France or other countries, to join Global Classroom and share your culture. Attend a training on Saturday, September 17th in midtown Manhattan and then volunteer to lead as many or as few classes as you like over the upcoming year. Classes are during the school day, Monday through Friday.
