Global Studies is actively involved in all levels of outreach, with a goal of providing educators and community leaders with the tools to integrate global content into curriculum and community programs, increasing awareness of global issues and better preparing a citizenry for an increasingly interconnected world.

We are a partner in the Wisconsin International Outreach Consortium (WIOC) whose mission is to share resources and collaboratively support international education and global awareness.

Global Studies strives to put the Wisconsin Idea in Action. To learn more how Global Studies can assist you, email us with your questions or suggestions.

Global Studies offers K-12 educators numerous resources for classroom use and opportunities to develop their own global knowledge and skills and curriculum. By providing educators with the tools to integrate global content into the curriculum we seek to increase students' awareness of global issues and prepare them for citizenship in an increasingly interconnected world.
