Local Plants Global Learning
Welcome to the 2025 Global Citizenship Virtual Student Exchange, where students from around the world come together to explore how local plants connect us to global challenges—and to each other. This exchange is more than just learning about the environment; it’s a journey in global citizenship education that builds cross-cultural understanding, shared responsibility, and collective action for a more sustainable future.
This year’s theme, “Local Plants Global Learning”, invites students to:
Share photos and stories of native plants from their home regions
Learn from environmental experts about biodiversity, sustainability, and cultural knowledge systems
Collaborate in international teams to design and carry out local action projects
Reflect on how environmental challenges—like deforestation or climate change—impact communities globally and locally
Ready to Join?
Through live Zoom sessions, WhatsApp interactions, and creative assignments, participants will strengthen their skills in cross-cultural communication, research, and reflection. Together, we will co-create a Global Plant Gallery that highlights the beauty, importance, and vulnerability of plant life around the world.
This exchange is a unique opportunity to connect, learn, and act as a global citizen—one plant at a time.
