Tensta

Please provide a short presentation of your organisation (key activities, affiliations etc...) relating to the domain covered by the project
The City of Stockholm and the Stockholm Education Administration joined with the Ross Institute to bring the Ross model to Tensta Gymnasium, a public high school outside of Stockholm, Sweden. Over 90% of Tensta's students are first or second generation immigrants, mainly from the Middle East and Africa and of the Muslim faith. With the influx of this new population into Tensta, the school needed to implement a global curriculum for intercultural understanding. In 2002, Stockholm’s educational, political and business communities selected Tensta to develop an innovative method for educating such students for 21st century competencies.
