Globalisation, the rapid economic integration and movement of people, goods, capital and ideas across borders, provides both opportunities and challenges to address poverty.

Good governance is essential for a country’s development as effective leadership drives the processes and institutions that deliver better services to the population, stimulate economic growth and ensure security and stability.

!!! To avoid the last minute submission we need to develop AN ASSIGNMENT RUBRIC FOR EACH WEEK/ OR STAGE; thus, the students will know what they are expected to submit  at the end of each stage (scaffolding the final outcome).(for e.g., 1st week: place on the group blog 5 ideas about places to see,2nd week: complete a short quiz for the group which will analyze the community opinion about traveling within their native country and abroad, etc.)

All these projects represent a result of an active international collaboration with educational institutions from USA, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, France that shared their ideas on "Peer Interview" ( Sewickley Academy, Pennsylvania, USA )and "Education“ (School 16, Ishimbay Town, Bashkortostan, Russia).

Kerpoof. Com One of my 18-19 students’ recent Kerpoof project was connected to

Effective Communication, where they had to share their ideas on Receiving feedback, types of listeners, tips for delivering an effective presentation, etc.- topics requiring a special research.
