The Pulitzer Center is the recipient of a 2008 Goldman Sachs Foundation Prize for Excellence in International Education in Media/Technology presented by the Asia Society. We are honored by this recognition of our Global Gateway educational initiative where we connect students with under-reported international issues and the Pulitzer Center journalists covering them. Our Pulitzer Gateway online portals are an essential part of this work from the prototype Water Wars launched in the fall to India: Conflicts Within, which went live this winter.
We will launch our next portal Women-Children-Crisis within weeks. This latest portal begins our next phase of online educational activities with easier links between the portals already developed and all future ones.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us, especially the students and teachers who have joined us -- and those who will join us soon. Special thanks to portal developer Dan McCarey who brought the Pulitzer Gateway to life along with Associate Director Nathalie Applewhite and the entire Pulitzer Center staff. And thank you again to the Goldman Sachs Foundation and the Asia Society for honoring our work and the work of the other Prize recipients, including our co-winner in the Media/Technology category, Google Lit Trips.
The Goldman Sachs Foundation Prizes for Excellence in International Education is a national competition through the Asia Society that "recognizes and celebrates outstanding achievement in the field that promotes cultural awareness, world history, and a global curriculum as essentials in the development of the next generation of young Americans. This year's Prizes will be awarded in the categories of State, School and Media/Technology to exemplars whose innovative approaches to teaching and learning create replicable models that can support both students and educators in a meaningful way."
"Today students need a new set of skills to succeed—they need to be internationally fluent, connected, and comprehensive. These award recipients are equipping the next generation of leaders with the critical international knowledge and skills they will need to lead successfully in our global society," said Stephanie Bell-Rose, President of The Goldman Sachs Foundation.
