Get Students Future Ready

The Elmsford Union Free School District is grateful for partners such as One World United & Virtuous. Over the past few years, we have expanded opportunities for our students that we believe will give them the means to compete. Moreover, these experiences will better prepare them for the future. Having our students  “One World Future Ready” helps build a growth mindset that promotes building a better future. Our experiences with our global partners from One World and the connections made to the EUFSD Dual Language program have been remarkable. Providing students with a virtual space to collaborate and learn with their peers from around the world is the pinnacle of  21st century skill building.

It is a pleasure and honor to be able to greet you on behalf of the “Nicolás Sojos” School. We would like to extend our gratitude for including us in participating in the “Global Connections” program. From our perspective, we consider it very enriching and rewarding to be able to participate with our students in your program, social interaction as part of the educational process is transversal to positively improve development with their peers from other countries and the environment in which they operate, as well as self-confidence, oral and communicative expression, which is within the framework of the construction of their own learning.

Participating in such an important program as “Global Connections” makes it more palpable for students to understand that we are not isolated beings, but an integrating part of diverse cultures and societies with multiple thoughts, but at the same time united by the immanence of being human, purposeful and assertive interpersonal relationships. We hope to continue actively participating in this important program in the future, for all of the above, we express our most sincere thanks and wish success in everything outlined by One World.

The children found the whole experience amazing in their words. They were excited from start to finish and were dismayed when it did finish. Some of our One World children have never had the opportunity to travel so have not experienced other cultures and their countries. It was a fantastic way for the to meet different children and get to understand their culture. The experience also taught them that no matter where we are from, we all feel the same way about our planet and that by coming together we can find ways to restore our beautiful world. They hope that it will not be too long before we can meet our new friends again.
