What does international-mindedness mean to you? luisaganco https://padlet.com/luisaganco/icy3ck1fcmyazoep/wish/2208742478 We live in a globalizing world so it is important to understand and respect other cultures. We could have many differences,  but we also share so many similar concerns and problems. International-mindedness is a concept that keeps us aware of our differences but makes us respect them, promotes inclusion, diversity and intercultural understanding.

How do schools today prepare students for global citizenship within biology and other group 4 subjects? luisaganco https://padlet.com/luisaganco/icy3ck1fcmyazoep/wish/2208742876 Many global concerns and problems are related to the environment or to public health so by understanding Science, namely Biology we help students to have understanding of these global issues.  
Biology is a way of knowing the connection and impact that we have in our environment and how it interferes with us and other life forms.
 
Schools that prepare their students to be “global citizens” may use Biology as a discipline that provides not only a way to think about our reality but also to consider and connect with others globally.
 Here are some examples: 
- Global health problems such as pandemics,
- Climate change,
- Genetics,
- Evolution.

Whenever possible we benefit from the experience of our student exchange programs.

How can you help your students understand the importance of international understanding as it relates to your course? luisaganco https://padlet.com/luisaganco/icy3ck1fcmyazoep/wish/2208896985 Many global concerns and problems are shared globally. 
 
For example:
- Pandemics
- climate change 
- lost of biodiversity; 
- ...
 
All these issues have to be considered as problems that concern all human beings and there has to be an international effort to join knowledge and try to control, monitor or minimize the effect of each one. 

It’s fundamental that our students understand the need and importance of thinking, sharing and acting as a whole, has we did during the last pandemic, for example.

What activities have you carried out in your class that have knowingly or unknowingly highlighted or celebrated international-mindedness? luisaganco https://padlet.com/luisaganco/icy3ck1fcmyazoep/wish/2212174936 We usually watch some documentary films about global problems, after that we share opinions, debate some questions. When we do it, students always consider a global view, never local or individual.
