“Do you really live near volcanoes?” 🌋

It was a simple question from middle school students in Barcelona. But for one Global Scholars alum from Hawaiʻi, moments like that became something much bigger.

Later this month, Global Scholars students around the world will come together virtually to study the #WorldofWater. We recall a beautiful post from a Global Scholars student in Tel Aviv, circa 2019. Learning the world starts with exploring your own city. #globalengagement

[Global Cities, Inc. @GlobalCitiesOrg]

Happy #InternationalDayofActionforRivers! A Global Scholars student in Tel Aviv used simple tools to create this charming exploration of an ancient local river. Best part: research into the river’s history and suggestions for revival. #WorldofWater #CleanWater
