Global Challenge, Global Teaching – a conversation with high school teachers

High school teachers from seven countries gathered to learn more about the concept Global Challenge. The Global Challenge is written by hundreds of students every year to learn about food insecurity issues of a specific country. This assignment also allows students to participate in their local Youth Institute to network with other students and discuss with experts.
