World Wise Schools Resources for Libraries
Have you ever been asked for current information
about other countries for your library collection? The Peace
Corps has some low-cost resources that students and travelers
alike could benefit from.
World Wise Schools is an innovative global education
program that provides students in the United States with a view
of life in one of the more than 80 countries where Peace Corps
volunteers serve. Since its inception in 1989, more than a million
students in all 50 states have "put a face on a place"
through World Wise Schools. Educators and librarians working
with students in formal school settings, after school programs,
clubs or other learning situations can correspond with volunteers
and get speakers for classes.
There are also a number of videos, study guides,
lesson plans and companion guides available. You can borrow the
