You probably already know that at Global Girl Project we mobilise girls to be leaders and make social change. We support girls to build their leadership capacity, we empower them to make community change, and we enable them to connect to other likeminded girls. You also probably already know that we do this through our Blended Learning Leadership Initiative, our Global Graduates Connect platform, and our Exchange programme.
What you might not know, is how we actually do it. The answer is: in large part, thanks to Instructure. We use Instructure’s flagship Learning Management System Canvas to run all our programmes. It helps us manage our content in a simple and accessible way, and can be used by all our facilitation partners and girls to access the content relevant to them.
As a small organisation we have, until now, been using the free version of Canvas. However, we are thrilled to announce that we are now being sponsored by Instructure, who are providing us with their full version of Canvas!
This is an incredibly exciting development for us: it will enable us to continue to improve our two existing programmes (Blended Learning and Global Graduates Connect) and to develop our new Global Virtual Exchange programme. With new functionality and support from Instructure, we can take our girls’ learning to the next level, we can work with more girls, and we can continue to build the digital literacy of the girls we work with, enabling them to be effective leaders in the digital and post-Covid age.
Thank you to Instructure for believing in our girls, and helping them to change our world.
Changing our world starts with (getting a) girl (on Canvas!)
