What’s Global Education?
“Enabling young people to participate in a better shared future for all is at the heart of global education.
Global education promotes open-mindedness leading to new thinking about the world and a predisposition to take action for change. Students learn to take responsibility for their actions, respect and value diversity, and see themselves as global citizens who can contribute to a more peaceful, just and sustainable world”
