Growing Global: Tempe's Global Citizenship Education Program

Description
According to the 2010 census, 40 million people living in the United States were foreign-born, meaning they were not U.S. citizens at birth (2). The Harvard Business Review also said that "In 2017, strong growth across most of the world propelled the DHL Global Connectedness Index to a record high.…

According to the 2010 census, 40 million people living in the United States were foreign-born, meaning they were not U.S. citizens at birth (2). The Harvard Business Review also said that "In 2017, strong growth across most of the world propelled the DHL Global Connectedness Index to a record high. The proportions of trade, capital, information, and people flow crossing national borders all increased significantly" (7). With the U.S. being a cultural "mixing pot" and the world being more globalized than ever before, we must incorporate global citizenship education in our school systems. Growing Global is a creative project thesis that explores the idea of a global citizenship after-school program for youth in the Tempe Public School District. The outcomes of this project will be a proposal for the program, a curriculum outline including three examples of lesson plans [see Exhibit 1], student surveys for measuring curriculum effectiveness [see Exhibit 3], and an educator training guide and preparedness assessment [see Exhibits 2 and 4]. The Growing Global project proposal will cover the need for the program, a program timeline and explanation, the impact it will hold and how to measure it, potential barriers, the capacity of the team and its resources, and the budget for piloting the program.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects that music festivals have on the local region. In the context of this paper, this will include not only the financial impact of these events but also the social consequences that may impact the local economy both directly and indirectly. The metrics used to gauge the impact of these festivals include the number of people these events attract, the capital that comes with these people, the impact the influx of people have on the local market, the impact the influx of people have on local crime rates, and the actions the host regions take to accommodate current and future events. While music festivals as a general concept will be discussed, the area of focus will be directed towards both the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and the country music festival Stagecoach. Concurrently, the impact these festivals have on their host region of the Greater Palm Springs Area and host city of Indio will be a focus of analysis. Because music festivals have become highly organized, well-funded, and well-advertised over the past decades, cities and regions are likely to experience significant financial gains by hosting and assisting with the execution of these events within their area.
