Global Minds University
The main objective of the GMU is to foster a model of affordable global education for both youth and refugees. The learning modules are designed by global education leaders in business to enhance social interaction, critical thinking, and action learning to promote sustainable innovation.
The significance of this initiative is to help many poor youths to be global citizens who celebrate diversity and co-existence and transform them to be part of the global knowledge economy. The mission of the GMU is to provide an affordable and quality practical education based on competences. Specifically, the objectives of the GMU are outlined as follows:
Ensure digital equity and substantiate the notion that education is a human right.
Enable youth and refugees to access global learning space to gain competencies for life and work.
Support the MENA region and host countries in building the human capital for refugees to foster economic growth, sustainability, and entrepreneurship.
Foster social entrepreneurship for youths by capacity building in basic business skills, green innovation and sustainable energy and green buildings. The approach is based on exploration, validation and scaling up.
