Connecting children from around the global.

At Know My World, our mission is to unite students around the world through enriching educational experiences that encourage empathy, compassion, and global understanding. Through the use of digital cross-cultural exchanges, students have the opportunity to build social, emotional and cultural awareness. Students also gain understanding and respect for the world they live in on both a local and global scale by engaging in collaborative projects that foster intercultural dialogue. Our exchanges have had a positive impact on students in more than 30 countries.
Know My World is an innovative educational resource that fully supports teachers so they feel confident in expanding their classroom walls and connecting their students with peers from around the world. All exchanges are fully facilitated by Know My World trained global facilitators and are customized to fit the needs of each individual educator. Each exchange also incorporates academic standards as well as social, emotional and cultural learning strategies. Please read about the impact of our Spring 2016 campaign here, http://knowmyworld.org/everyworld-initiative/impact-everyworld-initiative-jan-june-2016/
In order to ensure that all schools are able to participate in our exchanges, Know My World provides full scholarships to schools in need of financial assistance through the EveryWorld Initiative.
