Post: Youthink!: The World Bank's Website for Youth
Dear Teachers:
Youthink! (youthink.worldbank.org) is the World Bank’s
website geared towards informing and engaging the world’s
youth (ages 16-25) on international development issues
(poverty, conflict, corruption, trade, environment, debt
relief, education, health, etc.). Youthink! offers:
-Information and materials on international development
issues
-Opportunities to get involved with international
development
-A section for teachers
We, the Youthink! team, are planning on updating/renovating
the website, with a special emphasis on the section devoted
to teachers. Our goal for “4Teachers” is to provide
excellent educational support on international development
issues to instructors around the globe. Currently,
4Teachers provides downloadable PDF’s on various
development topics, discussion points, and quizzes.
As a part of the updating process, we would like to ask you
for your opinion of Youthink! Your opinion is important to
us, as this website is aimed at you and your colleagues
throughout the world. We hope to utilize your thoughts and
ideas to make Youthink! an excellent teaching and learning
resource.
