What is Cocurriculum

Global learning is the process of students working together to understand and make connections between local, regional, national, and global concerns; analyze these concerns from multiple perspectives; and begin to create solutions that take into account their own and other's well-being. Global learning is most effective when it is integrative, enabling every student to make connections between the issues that they study in the classroom and their own experiences in cocurricular activities and in their personal lives. In this increasingly interconnected, complex, and difficult world, it is essential that students engage in integrative global learning as soon as they enter college. This chapter provides a roadmap for global learning leaders looking to implement integrative global learning programming in a multiplicity of contexts.
