The Pulitzer Center brings the world into the classroom

Inspiring students to embrace the world Dear Friend,   The Pulitzer Center brings the world to the classroom by connecting our international journalists and their reporting projects directly to 500+ schools and campuses around the country each year. Tatiana, a student from Kentucky, says "Fractured Lands" helped her learn about the Middle East. "It taught me something I could not learn from a textbook."  The Pulitzer Center works to engage all people in the big issues that affect our world. Over the past decade that has meant connecting directly with 136,000 students in our college and education network—and we're just getting started. The Pulitzer Center's multi-level education approach: Bring international journalists into the classroom to share their stories, teach reporting skills and support professional development for teachers. Provide free online curricular resources drawing on our journalism that teachers anywhere can use. Offer international reporting fellowships to college students in our campus network. It's an approach that changes lives. In a "Walk Like a Journalist" workshop, freelance photojournalist Allison Shelley asks students to reflect on what they learned from reporting in Dupont Circle and what skills they want to apply to their reporting projects at their schools. Support our education work "I really enjoyed getting a chance to see these international crises presented in a way that made me have hope for the world. I thought it was really cool and really eye-opening. The journalism bug kind of bit me." - Kalila, Parkland High School in Winston Salem, NC Your gift today will bring the Pulitzer Center's international reporting and global engagement strategy to new schools and campuses across the country, and beyond. Together, we can engage tens of thousands of students each year by bringing our journalism into the classroom—and inspire those students to go out and embrace the world. Consider Janice Cantieri, a 2014 student fellow from Washington University in St. Louis. Janice spent five weeks reporting from the South Pacific islands of Kiribati, an area described as one of the first likely to disappear as a result of climate change. Janice subsequently spent an entire year in Kiribati, as a National Geographic-Fulbright Fellow, and today is a graduate student at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. "My student fellowship with the Pulitzer Center was one of the most transformative experiences of my undergraduate career (and my entire life)," Janice Cantieri writes. "This fellowship was the single most important factor in my decision to pursue a career in international reporting on climate change." Janice's experience is illuminating, and there are thousands more students around the world who are waiting to be challenged and inspired to act. Your gift today is a direct investment in this next generation. I hope that you'll become part of their story—and ours. Student Fellow Janice Cantieri with Kiribati President Anote Tong.
