SOU "Jane Sandanski” in Strumica, Macedonia. Saint Mary’s Ryken High School in Leonardtown, Maryland, USA. Two schools uniting together for one cause: to solve the worldwide problem of global education. Through extensive research and communication, online forums, group meetings, and technological tools, we have taken vital steps to resolve the NAIS 20/20 project for this year.


Maryland’s Inside Scoop

Our team is part of a class called Global Bridges, a year long course that teaches global citizenship and is designed to explore cultural diversity in our state, nation, and global community.  We work to gain knowledge of diverse perspectives and lifestyles, while developing strategies for communicating and relating across cultural differences.  The class is made up of twelve high school students: eleven juniors and one senior.  We aim to see the views of not only the students in our own classroom, but also the views of those around the world.


Access Granted to Macedonia

Our team is a group of high school students strictly working to solve this year’s 20/20 project on education.  We have split up to work on solutions, translations, research, and web design.  We are constantly communicating with our partner school via an online forum, and we hope to learn more about each other and also brainstorm ideas for the project.  Together, with the students of Saint Mary’s Ryken, we are committed to solving the problem of global education.
