The Peace Corps traces its roots and mission to 1960, when then Senator John F. Kennedy challenged students at the University of Michigan to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries. From that inspiration grew an agency of the federal government devoted to world peace and friendship.
We can utilize the experiences that are shared by those volunteers to learn a lot about the countries we are studying and cultural differences.
WorldWise schools help to connect these volunteers with schools in the U.S to share what they have learned.
There are valuable resources for teachers available here: WorldWise Schools
that include videos, podcasts, lesson plans, letters from volunteers, photos, and so much more!
