Generation Global's video conferences are a unique opportunity for students to engage in intercultural dialogue on complex social issues, improve communication skills, boost self-confidence, and develop critical thinking.
Video conferences are online encounters allowing young people from different backgrounds to engage, share
perspectives, and learn from one another. Participants engage in dialogue on complex global and social issues
including but
not limited to Wealth and Poverty, Future of Work, Climate Change, and Identity and Belonging.

Video conferences are available for both learners participating independently in the Ultimate
Dialogue Adventure and for students participating with their educators enrolled in the Teacher Portal.
Generation Global has facilitated more than 5,700 video conferences since
2009.
Participants get the opportunity to practice the skills of dialogue that are central to the programme,
including global communication, active listening, critical thinking, asking questions, and reflecting.
Participants are
required to complete the corresponding Ultimate Dialogue Adventure interactive topic
before joining a video
conference,
to learn about the issue and contribute to the dialogue more effectively.
Generation Global's video conferences are a powerful tool in supporting young people's development into active
and open-minded global citizens. They offer a unique opportunity for cross-cultural
learning, emphasising the importance of understanding each other in today's
interconnected world.
