A teacher at Woonsocket High School (WHS) in Rhode Island, Anthony Cosentino from Putnam, Connecticut teaches social studies and sociology. Anthony Cosentino is also a volunteer firefighter for the Putnam fire department. Passionate about cultural exchange and community engagement, he helped create the Global Citizenship Project at WHS. One of the project's flagship programs is fostering cultural exchange with Rwanda through yearly trips.
Cultural exchange trips enable students to understand different cultures, traditions, and knowledge from diverse backgrounds. The program at WHS, a three-week travel study to Rwanda, connects the members with local communities. The objective of the visit is to foster real-world educational opportunities for WHS students by collaborating with diverse academic and community partners and, accompanied by their teachers, investigate global matters through research, on-site instructions, and cross-cultural exploration in Rwanda. After the visit, the WHS Global project members act as education ambassadors. Through mentorship, presentation, and outreach, they share their experiences and skills with the school members and the wider Woonsocket community.
