About

Global Connections and Exchange Program (GCEP)-Bangladesh helps the leaders of tomorrow to develop the knowledge and the skills for an increasingly global world.  Through technology and innovative online projects, GCEP participants gain an understanding of what it means to be a global citizen by working in partnership with their peers in other countries.  The GCEP program focuses on teacher training, civic education, community involvement in schools, use of technology, and cultural exchange to create an ideal training ground for future leaders.  The GCEP-Bangladesh is implemented by Relief International-Schools Online in Bangladesh with generous support from the Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs of the US State Department.  GCE Bangladesh has selected three youth under its student exchange program to travel to the U.S.A. in July 2007. The exchange will focus on the use of technology as a tool for social activism and community development.  This is a combined exchange involving students from Afghanistan and Bangladesh.  The selected youth leaders have demonstrated commitment to community service and social development and have creatively used technology to promote global citizenship.   These students are active participants in GCEP online collaborative projects.

This blogsite is created to give the the GCE exchange students an opportunity to share their thoughts before they travel to USA and after they are back from the exchange visit.
