Know Your World Initiative Hot Topic Global Dialogues brought to you by WorldVuze

The Know Your World Initiative (KYWI) Hot Topic Global Dialogues engage students in discussions on challenging and thought-provoking global issues such as: the refugee crisis, land disputes, energy and the economy, and using real-world country case studies. This helps student learn how to:

• Examine the impact of potential “solutions” to real-world issues from multiple points of view by answering KYWI discussion questions on WorldVuze from the perspectives of multiple stakeholders
• Think collaboratively by integrating the ideas and perspectives of other students around the world
• Think critically by using the case study information and global student perspectives to debate as a class on what they believe would be a “preferred solution” and why
• Reflect on their own thinking and understanding when it comes to the complex issues they are discussing; they are making a decision with limited information and there is no one “correct” or “perfect” choice
