    What is Global Citizenship ?

    Global citizenship is the umbrella term for social, political, environmental, and economic actions of globally minded individuals
    and communities on a worldwide scale. The term can refer to the belief that individuals are members of multiple, diverse, local and non-
    local networks rather than single actors affecting isolated societies. Promoting global citizenship in sustainable development will allow
    individuals to embrace their social responsibility to act for the benefit of all societies, not just their own.
    Global citizenship is all about encouraging young people to develop the knowledge, skills and values they need to engage with
    the world. And it's about the belief that we can all make a difference.

    Benefits to Students

    Global citizenship means an awareness of the interconnectedness among people, societies and environments around the globe. It
    emphasizes responsibilities and contribution to a global society and economy. When students develop a sense of global citizenship,
    they learn to respect seminal universal values such as peace, sustainability and upholding the human rights and dignity of all
    people. Global citizenship programs develop students' knowledge, skills, attitudes and values. Effective schools draw on real-life
    intercultural experiences which deepen students' understanding of the world and their place in it.

    How to be a Global Citizen


     A global citizen is someone who is aware of and understands the wider world – and their place in it. They take an active role
    in their community and work with others to make our planet more peaceful, sustainable and fairer.
     Education for global citizenship isn't an additional subject – it's a framework for learning, reaching beyond school to the
    wider community. It can be promoted in class through the existing curriculum or through new initiatives and activities.

    Benefits of Being a Global Citizen

    A global citizen will:


     Build their own understanding of world events.
     Think about their values and what's important to them.
     Take learning into the real world.
     Challenge ignorance and intolerance.
     Get involved in their local, national and global communities.
     Develop an argument and voice their opinions.
     See that they have power to act and influence the world around them.

    What's more, global citizenship inspires and informs teachers and parents, too. But above all, it shows young people that they have

    a voice. The world may be changing fast, but they can make a positive difference – and help build a fairer, safer and more secure

    world for everyone.
