  7. IBO mission statement The International Baccalaureate Organization aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end the IBO works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment. These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.

  9. DT subject description The design technology method in its widest sense, with its emphasis on creativity, innovation, open-mindedness and freedom of thought, transcends politics, religion and nationality. Group 4 students are encouraged to access the extensive web sites of international organizations to enhance their appreciation of the international dimensions of technology. On a practical level, the group 4 project mirrors real technology by encouraging collaboration between schools across the regions. Group 4 students need to be aware of the moral responsibility of designers to ensure that appropriate technologies are available to all communities on an equitable basis and that they have the technological capacity to use this for developing sustainable societies. D T in the I B: green & global

  10. DT aims to develop in students: • an ability to explore concepts, ideas and issues with personal, local and global significance • an understanding and appreciation of cultures in terms of global technological development • skills that enable them to reflect on the impacts of design and technology on society and the environment D T in the I B: green & global
