our work in action
Vermont–Québec Connections
Greenbridge is building cross-border partnerships that connect Vermont and Québec educators, schools, and students through shared learning, professional collaboration, and sustained international relationships.
Vermont—Finland Connections
Greenbridge builds on a multi-year Vermont–Finland collaboration connecting secondary students and educators through school partnerships, virtual exchange, professional learning, and face-to-face international experiences. The work promotes cross-cultural competency, equitable access to global learning, and the exchange of educational ideas and practices between Vermont and Finland.
As part of this collaboration, Greenbridge Executive Director Jill Prado presented on developing students’ cross-cultural competency and global citizenship at Finland’s XVII Annual General Education and Early Childhood Education Internationalization Conference.
The Vermont–Finland collaboration has received support from Fulbright Teacher Exchanges and the U.S. Department of State, the Fulbright Finland Foundation, and the Finnish National Agency for Education.
Vermont Humanities Grant
Greenbridge received a Vermont Humanities grant to support cross-border humanities learning and educator collaboration.
In the spring of 2026, Greenbridge convened a bilingual Vermont–Québec colloquium for secondary educators in Burlington, bringing educators together to observe, collaborate, and reflect on the role of the humanities in secondary education, including social sciences, literature, and languages.
