Mission:

One World Education (OWEd) is a non-profit organization that works with students and educators to improve learning and literacy in schools and communities. The Mission of One World Education is to promote global awareness, literacy, and meaningful citizenship with educational resources that give voice to youth perspectives on culture and global issues.

One World Education works with students and teachers in schools and communities through its two signature programs: the Schools Program and the Community Program.

The goal of the OWEd Schools Program is to return student writing about culture, local and global issues back to classrooms as learning resources for other students through our website, www.oneworldeducation.org. Our peer-to-peer One World Curriculum allows middle and high school students to learn about core academic subjects and 21st century skills from our high quality curriculum based around the writing of students.

The One World Curriculum is developed by our team of experienced middle and high school educators. These professional teachers build comprehensive One World Experience units that include project-based Learning Activities and comprehension-based Unit Resources around the student-authored primary source. Free teacher memberships to One World Education allow educators to access One World Curriculum to engage students and improve classroom learning.

The OWEd Community Program has three activities:
1. Design writing journals for students participating in youth-serving programs outside of school. These journals allow students to write about their experiences and practice literacy skills away from the classroom.
2. Develop Curriculum for organizations with mission similar to One World Education to return their work to classrooms.
3. Offer Learn-Shops for middle and high school students and the educators and administrators that serve them. Learn-Shops engage participants in the learning process as they are introduced, practice and apply skills related to culture awareness, international learning, leadership, youth entrepreneurship and reflective writing. Our Learn-Shop Catalog highlights our currently available courses. All Learn-Shops are individually tailored to meet the specific needs of our partner organization.
