Lead Global Education (OWYP)

Lead Global Education!

One World Youth Project is a unique service-learning program that engages university students as cross-cultural facilitators, called Project Ambassadors (PAs), in local secondary schools. As part of the program, participants at the İstanbul Bilgi University will take part in a unique training course, and will act as facilitators in local Istanbul middle schools, leading a curriculum based on cross-cultural understanding and community engagement in order to prepare youth to be leaders in the increasingly interconnected world.

OWYP provides dynamic training and technology in order to bring this cultural exchange opportunity to the classroom. OWYP at the İstanbul Bilgi University is now accepting applications. PAs may receive BUS 271 & 272 credit.
