GEBG HS Student Dialogue hosted by McDonogh School

Topic: Perspectives on Balancing Global Engagement and National Interests

With the current perpetuation of American exceptionalism, students will explore global perspectives as it relates to America’s shifting presence on the world stage. The world is paying close attention, from the elimination of aid to tariff imposition to scrutiny of diversity, equity, and inclusion programming and practices. Students will consider how individuals and groups are affected as countries shift their known practices. They will also consider the ways in which modern media consumption may or may not play a role in our attitudes toward these current topics. 

Thursday, April 24, 2025 | 11:00-12:00 PM PT |2:00-3:00 PM ET | 8:00-9:00 PM CET
