Communication is the exchange or transfer of signals, facts, ideas and symbols. It requires a sender, a message and an intended receiver. Communication involves the activity of conveying information or meaning. Effective communication requires a common “language” (which may be written, spoken or non-verbal). 
 

Communities are groups that exist in proximity defined by space, time or relationship. Communities include, for example, groups of people sharing particular characteristics, beliefs or values, as well as groups of interdependent organisms living together in a specific habitat.

Development is the act or process of growth, progress or evolution, sometimes through iterative improvements. 

All ideas need refinement, through development, to become successful, appropriate and feasible. The development of solutions allows problems to be solved with greater success.

Communication is the exchange or transfer of signals, facts, ideas and symbols. It requires a sender, a message and an intended receiver. Communication involves the activity of conveying information or meaning. Effective communication requires a common “language” (which may be written, spoken or non-verbal).

Development is the act or process of growth, progress or evolution, sometimes through iterative improvements.

Systems are sets of interacting or interdependent components. Systems provide structure and order in human, natural and built environments. Systems can be static or dynamic, simple or complex.

Development is the act or process of growth, progress or evolution, sometimes through iterative improvements.

Communities are groups that exist in proximity defined by space, time or relationship. 

Through MYP design, students will develop an understanding that a solution to a problem for one community will create problems for another, some on a small or even personal scale, while others may be far-reaching, affecting communities thousands of miles away or the global community.

Development is the act or process of growth, progress or evolution, sometimes through iterative improvements.

Systems are sets of interacting or interdependent components. Systems provide structure and order in human, natural and built environments. Systems can be static or dynamic, simple or complex.
