OVERVIEW
We can all make a difference. That belief is the foundation of a global citizenship education, which aims at preparing students to be actively engaged in making this world a better place to live. Today’s teenagers are concerned about the world that they share, both from a local and a global perspective. Not only do they want a change, they want to be that change.
Our role as educators is clear: we need to provide our learners with the communication skills and content knowledge they need to help create the future they want. How can we do that? How can we make our classrooms into a space for students’ voice and choice?
In this webinar, we will explore these big questions and reflect upon our role as educators of a new generation – one that has a lot to say, and a lot to do.
