Thanks for helping support The Global Corner!
Based in Pensacola, Florida, The Global Corner provides age-appropriate activities for elementary school children to help them understand the arts, language, literature, customs, culture and food of other countries. Each school year, we focus on bringing one country to life. In 2009-2010, the focus country is Egypt. Our teachers and volunteers keep the students involved with hands-on activities that are designed not only to help them understand the world around them, but also help them learn and meet Florida's Grade Level Expectations.
Imagine having The Global Corner visit your school and bring up to five exciting activities to your classrooms. Children will participate in each activity and will learn vocabulary words, customs, songs, dances, and much, much more. To find out more information or to apply for a visit from The Global Corner Team, call 850-332-6404. See what teachers are saying about their visits from The Global Corner on the "Teachers' Corner" page.
Our Mission
The Global Corner is an international learning center dedicated to teaching the children of Northwest Florida about world cultures.

Through this, children will begin to see their place in a more peaceful, global community. A different country is highlighted each year as we "Bring the World to Life – One Child at a Time."
