Global Opportunities
GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES
Give Students Access to What Lies Beyond the School.
There are opportunities young people never discover simply because nobody put them in front of them.
LBSC helps Affiliate Schools discover selected opportunities that can extend students’ experience beyond the normal school environment.
THE IDEA
Something Is Always Happening Beyond the School.
Competitions, International projects, Youth panels, Research, Innovation, Student showcases, Leadership opportunities, Employer and university initiatives.
The challenge is not always finding opportunities.It is finding the right opportunities.
LBSC helps schools identify and access opportunities that may be relevant to their students.
WHAT MAY BE AVAILABLE
COMPETITIONS
Opportunities to test ideas, knowledge and creativity.
STUDENT SHOWCASES
Platforms for young people to present their work and ideas.
INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS
Experiences involving collaboration across countries or communities.
YOUTH PANELS
Opportunities for young people to contribute their perspectives.
INNOVATION
Challenges and experiences focused on new ideas and solutions.
EMPLOYER & UNIVERSITY OPPORTUNITIES
Selected opportunities to engage with institutions beyond school.
THE LBSC ROLE
LBSC does not promise every opportunity to every student.
Instead, we identify selected opportunities and make relevant information available to Affiliate Schools.
Schools can then determine which opportunities are appropriate for their students.
This keeps the school in control while making the wider opportunity landscape easier to navigate.
FOR SCHOOLS AND STUDENTS
Experience Creates Evidence.
Every opportunity can become more than something a student attended.
Where appropriate, students can reflect on what they did, what they learned, what they contributed, what they created and what changed in their thinking.
Relevant experiences can contribute to the student’s LBSC Global Portfolio.
The goal is not another certificate. The goal is evidence of capability.
The opportunity landscape is constantly changing.
The Network gives schools another route to discover relevant opportunities without having to build and maintain those connections entirely on their own.
