Two cities. One beginning.

Philadelphia ↔ Windhoek

WorldMates begins with young people in Philadelphia and Windhoek learning about one another through trusted schools, teachers, shared classrooms and verified relationships.

One classroom meets another. One teacher meets another. One young person meets another. Then the world gets a little smaller.

Windhoek

Why might conditions differ? What could students investigate together? WorldMates does not rank cities.
