Sessions will take place in the second floor above the library during Advisory (10:30-11:00). If you are interested, please sign up here. Each session is limited to 20 participants so first come, first serve.

Global Citizen Diploma Stories

If  you don’t know how to share your GCD story, continue reading.

Here are some ways you can share your story  (there are others)

  • – you can tell your story (like an interview)
  • – you can make a PPT with or without audio *
  • – you can record yourself talking (video or audio) *
  • – you can write your story (like an essay) *
  • – interpretative dance

*  these will likely require editing, reshooting etc, whereas telling your story through an interpretative dance probably will not need any editing.

Contact Ms Anna for clarifications.

Deadline Dec 14th.
