Global Student Square

Global Student Square is a youth-led initiative to globalize and democratize journalism. By connecting student journalists all over the world, GSS is working to bring youth voices into global news. Using emerging platforms for online collaboration and transmedia group storytelling, GSS operates online, producing high-quality journalism in a virtual newsroom that includes teams of student multimedia teams, plus online training and mentoring by journalists in mainstream news organizations. A program blending digital storytelling and journalism education, GSS aims to provide both young journalists and readers in their age group with a new approach to current affairs and global citizenship.
