  BERLIN-BASED ARTIST and Creative Arts teacher for Germany Cécile B. Evans explains this term's curriculum and the students' final project at the Berlin Biennale. In this video, students visit the exhibition and express their impressions of various works. The culminating assessment of Creative Arts in Germany is the creation of audio guides, written and recorded by TGS students, that visitors to the Biennale can use to experience this politically-charged...

In March of this year, students transformed into delegates at the Model United Nations assembly in Chiang Mai, Thailand. This activity was a first for TGS, one widely heralded as a worthwhile experience. This month, 19 of our students returned to the action at BALMUN (Baltic MUN) conference in Rostock, Germany. Four other students acted as TGS press and documented the experience with articles, photography, and film. The following are...

1. There's no pity for the wee-dance. Much to the dismay of everyone who needed a toilet during pitstops, the privilege of relieving oneself costs .70 Euro in addition to the cost of time waiting in a queue. It's a bit like adding insult to injury because on top of the inevitable queue for the loo, you may have to run back to the bus to find change for your...

"The children are our future." A'ntonia said, her eyes staring off, distant. "If we don't start educating and preparing our children, whether they're black, white, or yellow, we would only be ruining our future." In many places, like Israel and North Korea, children are stripped of their rights. These include the right to play and the freedom of expression. One of those deprived children might be the one with the...

Stemming from two of the school's core values (thoughtfulness and synergy), students are encouraged through the TGS newMedia Lab to share and reflect their experiences with the world. In this video, grade 10 student Charis from Thailand documents her time in Bavaria, complete with endearing webcam commentary.

Grade 9 student Isaac continues to explore new techniques in graphic design to illustrate his experiences with TGS. Using one of his photographs and text written at the summit, he designed this graphic image to commemorate a reflective moment atop Mt. Wank in Bavaria, Germany. See more of Isaac's graphic designs on his blog.

CREATIVE ARTS TEACHER Cécile B Evans explains Art By Telephone, a recent activity students participated in with artists and audience members across the globe. In one afternoon, TGSers became creators of global art along with Timur Si-Qin, Lindsay Lawson, and Lucky PDF. The event was live streamed in Australia at an arts festival with onlookers taking part in the constructive dialogue. Within minutes of completion of an art piece, a...

  BY THE TIME THE SOVIETS arrived in Berlin in 1945, much of it had been bombed by the Allies. The Soviets appropriated the telephone exchanges, streetcars, and anything else that was useful in Moscow, leaving the city a skeleton. Once the city was divided, the architects began the rebuilding process and were eager to create buildings that would leave a legacy. What was once known as Stalin Allee is...

WHILE ENROLLED at THINK Global School, students are encouraged to be introspective during the course of their studies and travels. When the students document these thoughts, we are often delighted with the results. Grade 10 student Jawed filmed the following video during a weXplore excursion to Mount Wank in Bavaria, Germany. Jawed uses the imagery surrounding him to create a compelling case for self-reflection. Whether you are sitting at home...
