One Globe Kids is designed as a friendship experience – child users will feel that they have actually met, visited and befriended a peer elsewhere. Preparing students for global friendship is an important and valuable part of helping them become active, empathetic citizens. By beginning at an early age, all students can develop the knowledge, attitudes, skills and behaviors that will benefit them individually and collectively as members of a shared society. The Global Friendship Goals used in the One Globe Kids ELA curriculum are based on research in intergroup contact theory and have been specifically crafted to foster intercultural competence and encourage diverse friendship. You will find the goals for each grade in the ELA Teacher guides and one the Education page.
