JA and HSBC "Crash the Classroom!"
According to research, 97% of educators believe global competency is important to students' futures. But do our young people have the global awareness they need to succeed? Watch JA and HSBC "Crash the Classroom" of a New York City school to find out!
Junior Achievement and HSBC teamed up to "Crash the Classroom" and converted a middle school classroom into a "global marketplace." The video reveals students' general lack of familiarity with other cultures – even those commonly seen in their own city - prior to the experiment. But interacting with other cultures changes their perspective in important ways!
