The GREEN Program<\/a> (TGP) offers short-term transformative educational experiences that go beyond traditional classroom learning by providing participants with immersive opportunities for sustainable development in diverse global settings. TGP\u2019s approach to sustainability education is notable, in that it draws on multiple High-Impact Practices. Below we outline key priorities of The GREEN Program’s curricula, their alignment with specific High-Impact Practices, and how, by supporting the development of global citizenship and cross-cultural competencies, they equip participants to address pressing global challenges and thrive in an interconnected world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The effectiveness of TGP’s programs in meeting High-Impact Practices can be assessed through various outcome measures, including participant engagement, learning gains, and post-program impact. Surveys, interviews, and longitudinal studies have been utilized to evaluate the impact of TGP experiences on participants’ academic and personal development, as well as their career readiness and commitment to sustainability. A study conducted by Uppsala University found that \u201c95% of TGP students experience a sustainability-related shift with an increase in awareness and consciousness of personal impacts, personal exchange, and expertise in sustainability issues.\u201d Further insights on the long and short-term impacts of international education for sustainable development, with The GREEN Program as a case study, can be found HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A leading organization in global sustainability education, The GREEN Program is dedicated to building a future sustainability workforce that is diverse and empowered to drive positive change on a global scale. The following is a description of the core principles that inform every aspect of our work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The GREEN Program demonstrates strong alignment with High-Impact Practices in higher education through its emphasis on experiential learning, global engagement, and community engagement. By providing participants with transformative educational experiences, TGP contributes to the holistic development of participants and prepares them to address complex sustainability challenges in a real-world environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Further research and evaluation efforts should be undertaken to systematically assess the long-term impact of global experiences on participants’ academic and career development. Additionally, collaboration with academic institutions to integrate The GREEN Program\u2019s experiences into curricular and co-curricular activities can enhance the sustainability and scalability of its impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This article serves to highlight the value of The GREEN Program as a provider of high-impact educational experiences, and it encourages continued exploration and assessment of its contributions to the success and holistic development of participants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In this blog post, we outline key priorities of The GREEN Program’s curricula, their alignment with specific High-Impact Practices, and how, by supporting the development of global citizenship and cross-cultural competencies, they equip participants to address pressing global challenges and thrive in an interconnected world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":240106,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[152,139],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thegreenprogram.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240355"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thegreenprogram.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thegreenprogram.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegreenprogram.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegreenprogram.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240355"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/thegreenprogram.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240355\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":240365,"href":"https:\/\/thegreenprogram.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240355\/revisions\/240365"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegreenprogram.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/240106"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thegreenprogram.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240355"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegreenprogram.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240355"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegreenprogram.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240355"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Incorporation of High-Impact Practices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
