Bratt, Byrneville Students Take Virtual Trip To Italy

November 14, 2013

During the past few weeks, hundreds of students from Byrneville and Bratt elementary schools have taken a virtual trip to Italy, thanks to the Global Corner Learning Center.

The students spent time learning about the language, arts, culture, geography and more of a unique land half a world away. Each year, The Global Corner teachers take students from their classroom virtually to another country. Through The Global Corner, local students have “visited” Japan, Spain, Egypt, Brazil, Russian, and now Italy.

The non-profit Global Corner was conceived by its director, Lee Hansen, as part of her vision for the Pensacola area to become a player in the global economy and to have Northwest
Florida become an international business hub and the Center of Excellence for International Learning by 2025.

he Global Corner program is scheduled to be at Molino Park Elementary School November 18-22.

    Thanks Global Corner for coming and sharing with our schools! I remember when our older children, now in middle school and college, were able to learn though Global Corner. They loved it. You guys do a great job helping the children experience other cultures. Thanks for the education enrichment experience.
