"Global Heroes" Writing Contest and Curriculum
Global Heroes Magazine has implemented an introductory journalism curriculum guide and writing contest that addresses the international knowledge gap in the United States while at the same time allows students to gain practical experience in journalism. The online magazine focuses on the inspirational lives of individuals from different countries and cultures, while the educational program and contest was designed for students to write their own positive stories of people from other countries for publication on the Global Heroes‚ web site. Participating schools receive a curriculum guide that will teach students about the entire writing process in five classroom sessions.
