Global Ed Network of Central Ohio

FOUNDED ON PARTNERSHIP The true strength and power of the GlobalEd Network comes from the vibrant partnership among participating school districts, the Columbus Council on World Affairs, the Educational Service Center of Central Ohio, and a variety of both community organizations and engaged corporations. The Columbus Council on World Affairs has led the administrative management of the Network, with assistance from the ESC, since its founding in 2012. GLOBAL EDUCATION FOR ALL Possessing the knowledge, skills, and mindset to thrive in our global society is no longer an optional component to responsible citizenship or successful employment. Global fluency is required at all levels of work, not just for leaders and not just for the privileged. “GlobalEd for All” is a foundational value for the Global Scholars Diploma™ and CCWA works tirelessly to ensure global competence is a core element of the mainstream educational system. ABOUT US CCWA The Columbus Council on World Affairs is a non-partisan, non-profit organization founded in 1975 by twelve forward-thinking individuals representing a cross-section of Columbus’ business, academic, and civic communities. Since its founding, the Council works to increase global awareness within the Columbus region through a variety of public and K-12 educational programs, recognizing that a globally competent community is a globally competitive community. The Columbus Council on World Affairs joins 94 councils in 40 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, as a member of the World Affairs Councils of America. This network of like-minded organizations provides the Columbus Council with valuable resources and national reach.
