Clap Global is a unique platform for cultural exchange that enables international travelers to visit local school classrooms and have eye-opening conversations with students. Participating in a Clap Talk makes classroom learning more experiential and travel more meaningful. Through the platform, teachers can invite international travellers into their classrooms to have meaningful and engaging conversations with the students. During the course of an hour's Clap Talk, the children will learn about new cultures, new people and new ways of life. By interacting with real people and listening to real stories, they will gradually go beyond popular stereotypes and develop a deeper understanding of the world. While travellers get to witness a slice of real life in a foreign land while making an actual difference to the lives of the people they meet. Clap Talks are curated on a simple digital platform: www.clapglobal.com Travellers tell us where they’re from, where they are now and their available dates. Schools give us a preferred date for a talk, get a list of available traveller profiles, pick and invite a traveller. Clap matches availability and curates an eye-opening talk. The Clap Kit and Clap Curriculum: Every school that signs up with Clap is given a Clap Kit complete with conversation aids and handbooks to guide them through a talk. Similarly, travellers are given a reference presentation to help them plan their talk better. Our curriculum tools packaged into the Kit cover a range of universal topics, such as culture, interpersonal relationships, environment, gender, human rights and freedoms, justice, governance and more. The Clap Curriculum is meticulously designed to raise the cultural and emotional intelligence of all the participants of a Clap Talk. Partnerships: Amnesty International has partnered with Clap on the HRE (Human Rights Education) part of the Clap Curriculum. AIESEC is our official partner for their Youth Leadership Programme, LEAD. Clap was rewarded an initial seed fund from the Government of Chile through its incubation program, Start-Up Chile. Awards: Clap was also adjudged as ‘Start up of the Year’ and ‘Social Messiah of the Year’ by Exhibit Magazine’s 100 Hottest Start Ups 2016 award Jury, comprising members from NASSCOM, Kalaari Capital, NEA and Matrix Partners. Mission: Clap aims to build a whole new generation that is far more compassionate towards personal, social and cultural differences. It believes that soon, education systems across the world will embrace the idea of ‘Travellers in Classrooms’ as a compelling teaching tool and as a testament to the power of dialogue in bridging two worlds. www.clapglobal.com ©, Clap Kit™ , Clap Curriculum© www.facebook.com/clapglobal
