How do I begin?<\/span><\/h1>\n
\n

First, form\u00a0a GIN Team!<\/strong>\u00a0It is good to begin by reviewing (both ongoing and possible) efforts focused on global issues with these students and teachers. You may\u00a0choose one or more of the global issues that are listed on the GIN main site. Global issues are interrelated so if you find that your project addresses more than one issue, great!<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span> As you develop your Action Plan and GIN Project you will closely measure\u00a0and document your efforts in the coming months. For many of you, it will not be creating more work but celebrating and sharing your efforts to date.<\/h4>\n

Register for our GIN Conference<\/strong>!<\/h4>\n

How do we prepare to attend the conference?<\/span><\/h1>\n

The GIN group should meet regularly. Schools are invited to send a GIN team (or more than one)\u00a0to the conference. Each team is made up of 2-6 students from Grades 7-12. Two adult advisors must accompany your school\u2019s students, whether you send one or more teams. There should be at least a 1:2 ratio of advisors to teams if your are bringing more then two teams.<\/h4>\n

Note: We would like to stress that younger students will be expected to\u00a0bring their passion and focus as they will be required to participate in all aspects of the conference. They must be committed to\u00a0rising\u00a0to the many challenges a GIN conference provides.<\/h4>\n

What are the key responsibilities of the team?<\/span><\/h1>\n
