Dear Friends,
We have much to be thankful for during this month of gratitude and reflection and you — members of our Global Learning Community — are at the top of our list. Join MY HERO and our partner Actionable Innovation Global in the upcoming GLOW conference and help your students prepare for their roles as active global citizens. The event focuses on developing global competencies and increasing opportunities for cross-border collaboration.
This month, we announce the winners of our Robert Shetterly Portrait Contest and the UN Sustainable Development Goals Poster Contest, as well as the winning films from the 18th Annual 2022 MY HERO International Film Festival, which features the work of student and professional filmmakers. This year, educator Jeffrey Rudkin will be receiving the 2022 MY HERO Teacher Award at the festival.
Thank you for being part of MY HERO.
Sincerely,
Laura Nietzer
MY HERO Education Outreach Director
