Borgen Project Highlights #GlobalPOV Project

A black and white image featuring a chalkboard with the words "THE BORGEN PROJECT" written in large, bold letters. Above the chalkboard, a caption reads, "WE FIGHT FOR THE UNDERDOG" in uppercase, black text on a white background. To the right of the chalkboard, four children are seated on the ground, looking towards the camera.

The Borgen Project, a nonprofit organization with mission to fight extreme poverty through policy (not charity!) intervention, recently published an article highlighting The #GlobalPOV Project’s mixed-media approach to curriculum development and pedagogy. Check out the article here.
