Global Value???

[Merril889]

Hello everyone, So I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about how to get global value hours for CAS? I can pretty much get all the other stuff but I don't understand what would count for Global Value.

Hey, 

So for global value look maybe into charities, maybe volunteer with the red-cross. Do something of global importance, whether it be assisting in an LEDC, or working with local charities that help achieve a global goal. 

 

Hope this helps

My school said that any issue that is relevant on a global scale is considered global values. So, our school hosted a cancer fundraising event and it counted as global values since we were raising awareness of a disease that affects people worldwide.

Another club at my school also knit blankets for Syrian refugees and it was also considered 'global values' for CAS

Plenty of charities can help you fulfil this requirement. Some good ones were already listed

The IB program at my school partnered with a postcard website that sends you physical postcards with your own design and message. We separated into groups and wrote about issues that we cared about to send to government officials/organizations/people. Some of the groups wrote about human trafficking, climate change legislation, and refugee crises, so most of us got global value hours for that. I also am the leader of my school's pen pal club, and interactions from that counted towards it too.
