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. The deadline to register for an academic course is 60 days before tour departure.

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.

The Nobel Prize Museum celebrates the world-changing ideas of the Nobel Laureates and their commitment to making the world a better, more truthful place. How did your travel experience help you deepen your appreciation of the global dimensions of your program, uncover a truth about the world, develop a new idea, or provide you with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that will enable you to contribute to making the world a better place?
Submission formats
Students can choose to complete their project in any one of these three format options.

Video

Podcast

Each project will be assessed according to the Global Citizen Evaluation Rubric. There is a maximum of 4 points available for each of the 4 elements listed, amounting to a maximum total score of 16. Projects must score a 10 or higher to earn the certificate.

“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.”

“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.”
