The Global Citizen Diploma is NIS Graduation Requirement. Students must share 10 stories of their choice that document their Global Citizen journey.
The GCD is a platform for students to showcase who they are behind the books and numbers.
By presenting at the G9 Launch, a student could achieve the element Public Communication and one other if they choose. For example, a student could talk about how he traversed the Gobi Desert on foot (Wilderness Engagement) and because he is speaking to an audience of more than 20 people, it also counts as Public Communication.
If you are interested in taking out two birds with one stone, please contact hoyunlee@nanjing-school.com .
