Curriculum
One World Youth Project provides its participating groups with 8 months worth of  curriculum. In October, youth learn about the importance of cultural exchange in taking positive action. In November, they learn about all of the UN Millennium Developments Goal and begin to narrow in on their focus MDG. Each sister-group pair is assigned the same MDG, uses identical curriculum and is encouraged to communicate about each monthly assignment. Each MDG is explored in the curriculum through a real life, personal story of someone whose life intersects with the focus MDG. For more about the curriculum...click here.
