Project Overview

Trusted News Belongs in Our Classrooms

As our tagline says “Trusted News Belongs in Our Classrooms” and that is the goal of the NextGen Edition of The Globe and Mail. On a daily basis, articles are selected from The Globe and Mail that are relevant to youth. Articles cover a broad range of subjects from business, the economy, and entrepreneurship to money, the environment, politics and careers.

Many of the articles selected come with associated lesson plans for teachers.

In addition to selected articles, the NextGen Edition provides political cartoons, links to videos, a monthly current events quiz, and more.

Youth can visit the site directly to use resources provided and to submit feedback, comments, and opinions. When significant news breaks, backgrounders are posted quickly to provide information and insights for youth and teachers.
