(Eureka)— Local and state educators are joining forces with the Humboldt County Office of Education (HCOE) and the California Global Education Project (CGEP) to bring you the North Coast Global Education Forum. The Forum will be held on March 11, 2023, from 8:30 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. at the HCOE Annex.

Leading the Forum are two global education advocates, Greg Gaiera of Union Street Charter School and Dr. Colby Smart, Assistant Superintendent of HCOE. Dr. Smart will open the day as keynote speaker, sharing his expertise and insights on the importance of global education.

Global competency is the ability to understand and act on issues of global significance, fostering awareness and curiosity about how the world works. This important topic will be at the center of the Forum, exploring the four competencies:

• Investigating the world beyond their immediate environment
• Recognizing perspectives, others’ and their own
• Communicating ideas effectively with diverse audiences
• Taking action to improve conditions

This event is a must-attend for anyone interested in learning more about the California Global Education Project and how to support global education in their schools.
