As defined by UNESCO, global citizenship refers to a sense of belonging to a broader community and a common humanity. It emphasizes political, economic, social and cultural interdependence and interconnectedness between the local, the national and the global. However, despite that the world is increasingly interconnected, human rights violations, inequality and poverty still threaten peace and sustainability. Global Citizenship Education (GCED) is UNESCO’s response to these challenges. “It works by empowering learners of all ages to understand that these are global, not local issues and to become active promoters of more peaceful, tolerant, inclusive, secure and sustainable societies.”
