Adopt a Country

Adopt a Country is a school-based program that builds awareness of global citizenship by encouraging students to learn about other countries, and by connecting BC students with their peers around the world. Read the Adopt a Country School Guide for details on how to adopt of one of the participating countries in the 2010 Winter Games, and for suggestions on how to integrate this program into existing class work. Schools are encouraged to register to receive updates, including opportunities to connect with schools in their adopted country or chances to meet Olympic and Paralympic athletes.
