Global Context for Tomorrow's Leaders: Bridging Knowledge and Understanding Across Borders

This webinar was produced in partnership with CFR Education, Aspire Institute, and Global Post.

Education in 2026 needs to be globally contextualized. It isn’t enough for students to just have a degree; they need to have global affairs literacy: the ability to understand and engage effectively in today’s interconnected world.

Global Post, Aspire Institute, and CFR Education came together to celebrate the UN’s upcoming International Day of Education and explore how global contextual awareness is essential for students to navigate and succeed in an interconnected global landscape.

Together, these three organizations provide the knowledge, skills, and perspective needed to achieve global affairs literacy and foster the next generation of global leaders.

In this webinar, attendees hear from:

• Educators and administrators in both high school and higher education on how they teach their students to navigate and succeed in an interconnected global landscape
• Students who have leveraged their knowledge and understanding of global affairs to be leaders in their communities 

Attendees walk away understanding:

• Where they can find reputable online resources that give them the fundamental knowledge of global affairs topics
• The soft skills that are needed to become effective leaders and build global communities
• How to build perspective by highlighting untold stories, cultural nuances, and international dynamics
