Empowering Global Citizens

Students then partner with students from different parts of the world (one
school from each of the BRIC countries), share their identity webs with
one another, compare and contrast the different presentations, and discuss

cultural similarities and differences.

Students can continue the interactions by interviewing other students from
different countries. They can ask about and compare their roles and respon—

sibilities as

— daughters or sons

— sisters or brothers (elder/younger/ middle)
— students in a class

— friends

— teammates (in sports)

— other roles they might have

The students should then ask their partner what those identities mean to

him or her and whether or why one means more to him or her than the
others.
