Global Perspectives week marked at the International School

International School students had an opportunity to learn about the unique Global Perspectives programme last week. The school took part in a project called Global Perspectives Week in which the students learnt how to develop skills for the future while raising awareness about global issues. Global Perspectives Week took place from 1 to 7 March 2020.

About Global Perspectives Week

The Cambridge Global Perspectives programme offers students from primary schools upwards the chance to develop life-long skills, including critical thinking, research and collaboration. Students are encouraged to think across traditional subject boundaries and learn more about global issues.

During the Global Perspectives Week, each lesson focused on developing one key skill. The findings of the Global Perspectives Survey were revealed, featuring the views of thousands of students on global issues, as well as student and teacher stories on what they love about Cambridge Global Perspectives.

The schools that were involved in this project shared what they were doing in their Global Perspectives lessons that week on social media using the hashtag #GlobalPerspectivesWeek.

International School involvement

Year 10 students prepared the lessons in which they learned how to evaluate different sources. The main objective was developing the skill to criticize and evaluate the sources. In these lessons, the students were focused on climate change issues. They were divided in teams so the evaluation lists could be shared among students.

I am extremely pleased and proud to be the parent of a Savremena student. During my first encounter with the school management, when I asked about my child’s potential enrolment, I saw how much love, enthusiasm and professionalism you put in your work. I was impressed by your approach, ideas and methods. I couldn’t believe something like this existed in our country! It doesn’t take long to realise that this is a school you would recommend to everyone. Creativity, modern technology, top-quality education, and most of all, the humaneness that can be seen throughout the school, make it truly different and worthy of its name – Savremena Gimnazija. With such an approach, the success of this school and, consequently, our children’s success, is unavoidable. Congratulations! Jelena Đorđević, Andrija’s mum
Contemporary in any sense of the word, our school offers functional knowledge and quality preparation for tertiary education in Serbia and abroad. Implementing modern and creative teaching in the classroom, where the teachers’ pedagogy and students’ performance are aligned with the highest academic standards for the high-school finals, our school develops linguistic, mathematical, scientific, artistic, cultural, technical and ICT competence, which is a prerequisite for further education and professional development. Teaching is supported by the interactive whiteboards and educational software, whereas practice exercises research and critical thinking.
