The Global Education Team in Wareham Schools has some big plans.

According to Henry St. Julien, the social studies chair at Wareham High and one of the team’s advisors, a group of Cape Verdean students will visit Wareham for a week or so next year. The following year, he plans to take a group from Wareham High to the islands during April vacation.

The Global Education Team encourages students to be globally-minded, which St. Julien says better prepares them for the future.

“The goal is to try to educate students to global issues,” said St. Julien, who has previously brought groups of student "ambassadors" to Cape Verde.

St. Julien said the plan is for about seven students from the Santa Cruz secondary school in Cape Verde to come to Wareham High with two chaperones. Families of students involved with the team will host the students.

“We have strong relationships with our sister schools,” said St. Julien to the School Committee Wednesday evening. “We have ongoing systems with those schools, and an active Global Team at our high school and middle school.

He was at the meeting to request permission for the 2016 trip, which he received.

Recently, members of the Global Education Team have been Skyping with kids from Cape Verde, and they just started to do the same with students from Sweden.

St. Julien said any student can take part in the trip as long as he or she goes through the proper application process and joins the team. He said fundraising normally pays for the trip.

“Finance is never an issue,” he said.

“As usual, it sounds like a great trip,” said School Committee member Geoff Swett.

“I’m always impressed whenever I see these presentations, and I’m happy that we do it,” added member Michael Flaherty.

“Education is not over until a student experiences a third world nation first hand,” St. Julien said. “It’s really about the kids meeting other kids. I think a lot of Wareham kids’ lives were changed," by the 2013 trip to Cape Verde.
