DEI Task Force

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Force

Important: The GLOBE DEI Task Force has transitioned into the GLOBE Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) Working group. For all current information related to DEIA at GLOBE, check out the GLOBE DEIA Working Group page.

With the support of GLOBE Program Sponsors from NASA and NSF, in the fall of 2019 the GLOBE DEI Task Force was formed with the goal of creating a GLOBE statement and implementation plan on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. In February 2020 the group met in Boulder, Colorado for a DEI workshop, and to begin working on these statements. This group has met monthly ever since to collaboratively produce the statements shown below. These statements and action plan were presented to the GLOBE Community at the 2020 Virtual Meeting. A recording of this presentation can be found on GLOBE's Annual Meeting videos page

null GLOBE-CHAD TO COLLABORATE WITH ROYAL ACADEMY

Following the reactivation of the GLOBE program and loaded with a full agenda, GLOBE-CHAD meets with Royal Academy, one of the pilot schools chosen to quick off the program for the 2024 - 2025 school year.

The one hour meeting was held in the office of the school director, Mr Ouambi Serge, who graciously welcomed the GLOBE team composed of the Country Coordinator, the Country Coordinator’s Assistant in charge of outreach and the Assistant in charge of communication.

The points of discussion included the strategies of implementing the GLOBE program in the educational system at the school, selecting future GLOBE students and training teachers  at the school to become GLOBE educators.

Royal Academy has opened its doors to GLOBE’s activities and has shown great appreciation for the collaboration initiative.
