  1. Education:Getting Global Jeanne Bissonnette

  2. Brazil I was moved by this picture, drawn by a 11 year old in Brazil. Amazing to think that such a young child has the capacity to see the world as something that needs mending—by people of all colors.

  3. Hungary • An 11 year-old from Hungary sees the world in a more optimistic light—the world is a flower, something vibrant and beautiful.

  4. Qatar • 14-year-old Yasmin doesn’t think the world is his oyster—it’s his ice cream sundae. The people surrounding the sundae are diverse yet share a commonality—a love for ice cream. No matter how different we are, we share a unifying factor: we love carbs!

  5. Romania • This child seems to see the world as merely one unit in the universe, a mature, provocative thought. Certainly refreshing to see a child with a non-ego-centric view of the world.

  6. South Africa • Like the first child, this student sees that our world needs mending. Interestingly enough, she thinks that perhaps the youth of the world will be the ones to remedy things. Perhaps that’s why the kids have the world literally on their shoulders.

  7. United Kingdom • 14-year-old Henry sees the importance of humans working together, shown in the symbolism of two races shaking hands.

  8. United Kingdom • Ben is a supporter of diversity, but still demonstrates a belief in the importance of working together. He’s only 7!

  9. United Kingdom • Holly sees the biggest issue in our world as world hunger. She uses silverware to symbolize the issue and likewise draw attention to the epidemic proportions it’s taken.

  10. Vietnam • This 12-year-old shows the world imprinted on a traditional Vietnamese hat. Perhaps he wants to show that he is globally minded and, while enthusiastic about his origins, excited to learn about other cultures.

  11. Wow. • What a cool idea this was! I definitely will try something like this with my junior English class. I love the idea that students across the world have such different yet similar views of the world and what we can do to better it.
