Applying for the Global Citizen Certificate

Travelers on EF Educational Tours programs who successfully complete a multimedia project based on their tour experience are now eligible to receive an EF | Nobel Prize Museum Global Citizen Certificate. The certificate, issued by EF Education First and the Nobel Prize Museum, is part of the Global Citizen Project, designed to equip students with the skills to be leaders for peace and global prosperity.

Alternatively, students can choose to complete the project as part of a course that will also give them academic credit.

Impact of the Global Citizen Project

By completing the Global Citizen Project, travelers will demonstrate how the knowledge they’ve gained from their tour experience has impacted their perspective, the communities they’ve interacted with, and their ability to confront important global challenges. Students will become part of a network of changemakers dedicated to making the world a better, more truthful place.

The project also gives you an opportunity to showcase your learnings to schools or employers. Certificate recipients can include it with their college applications or add it to their resumes and LinkedIn profiles.

A Love Letter to Peru – Zoey V.

“Even though we didn’t speak the same language, we were able to connect through our actions. Together, we helped to build a section of trail through the town… It showed me that I am more capable than I thought I was as an individual and even more capable when working together with a group of like-minded people.”

Galápagos Essay – Alex J. M.

“I plan to make the world a better place by opening doors which many would be too scared to open themselves; people are not as different as they seem despite differing languages and cultures… The world is changing all around us constantly and people can be made observant of it if they are willing to expand their boundaries.”

“This journey has been incredible and unforgettable. It has given me an understanding of how people operate and live in various regions of the world. As a foreign national in the United States, I am constantly gaining fresh perspectives on diverse cultural lifestyles, and this trip has added to my list of new experiences.”
