CCM? Sorry, not familiar with the acronym.
I am not certain about specific global ed. at the elementary level, but I know they have clubs and groups. Coming from a very globalized city with many different nationalities at our school, there is a lot of focus on global citizenship and cross-cultural understandings. Most of the service-learning we do is at the high school level.
Cheers,
Rob
