Global Education and Leadership Program

 

The Global Civic Education and Leadership Program is an initiative of the Bridgewater State College Center for Legislative Studies. The objective of the initiative is to increase project impact by coordinating civic education development opportunities within and outside of the BSC college community. Current partnerships are being developed in the United States of America, the Middle East, in China, and in Africa. Recent projects have included international relationships with partners in the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Iraq, China, and Cape Verde.

The goal of the program is to approach civic education and leadership through a wide lens, using the concept to tie together research, community service, service learning, curriculum development, and grant development.

On-going projects include:

  • Short-term Faculty Exchanges with Other Institutions of Higher Learning
  • Research and Publication
  • Networking and Resource Sharing
  • Curriculum Development
  • Distance Mediated Education
  • Resource and Grant Building
  • Collaborative Service Learning
  • Student Exchange
