1.In TWSI , I had choreographed a dance called "dance mix" for our annual day. The dance theme was about the dance forms and languages of different countries. in that, I took, Hindi (India), Arabic dance(UAE), Flamingo (spain), Thai (Thailand) songs. Before starting trhe dance, I asked the students to learn about the culture and dance forms of the particular dance allotted to them.
2. Inside class, while teaching Global Warming, I divided students into groups and assigned them different nationalities. then I asked them to research on the climatic changes in their particular countries and present it in the class next day.

I shall make a list of major discoveries and inventions of fundamental and important things they learn. the list would include the name and nationality of the discoverer/ inventor. Then I shall have a brainstorming session in the class over this data. As discussed before as science is a subject based on inventions and discoveries, students will understand that complete learning is possible only with collaboration on a global level.

Biology or science as a whole is a subject which has a global perspective to full extent.

Biodiversity

Take any topic in biology, be it climate change - we talk about changes in climate that occur worldwide; or biodiversity - we talk about the biodiversity in the whole world; or bioinformatics - the databases contain data from all over the world and is maintained by contributions from all over the world. Here we have to explain to students that this is  an increasingly interconnected world. And most importantly,  biology is based upon  inventions and discoveries done by people around the world and not by any one person in any one specific part of the world.

Schools are increasingly finding ways to help students develop as global citizens. students have to know themselves and where they come from – and identity is always important – but the schools encourage them to look beyond their homelands and recognise the incredible opportunities that are created by diversity and the richness of culture that there is across our planet.

Schools can use different methods to inculcate the international mindedness by:
1.Assembly is a great opportunity to get kids reflecting on the world around them.
2.Food is an issue kids can connect to easily. Debates can be conducted which make the students stop and think.
3.New lessons acan be added to the curriculum on global cultures and foreign languages.
etc.

Understanding and respecting people from different cultures – embracing diversity. It is being aware of our own culture and that of others – an understanding that people with different perspectives, values, culture and understandings can also be right! Taking positive advantage of the diversity that surrounds you – actively seeking to learn about others. Appreciating that the diversity of human spirit is definitely central among of the many challenges of this present time.
