New Content for a Globalizing World

This year Learning Life has been quietly working on our Citizen Diplomacy Initiative (CDI).  Since 2013, Learning Life worked on creative projects printing information of public value on everyday surfaces, like napkins, coasters and even fortune cookie slips (you can learn more about these early projects here).  Starting in January of this year though, we have shifted our focus to CDI, which aims to advance international peace and youth and family development by nurturing live internet dialogue and project collaborations between families in different countries.

We will have more to tell about CDI as it develops, but for now you may have noticed that our latest Learning Life website educational content — our quizzes and five facts in particular — have accordingly taken a decidedly international turn.  For this post, we want to share with you links to all of our international facts and quizzes.  Feel free to favorite this post as we will update it as our able volunteers produce more interesting and timely international content.
