Global Citizenship
A global citizenship is someone who has a complex and deep understanding of the
world as well as their place in it. With this knowledge, they are able to take an active
role in their community, and work collaboratively with others to make the world more
equal, just and sustainable. Global citizenship puts focus on a holistic and
interconnected view of politics, economics, and human rights.
For Oxfam, global citizenship is all about encouraging young people to develop the
knowledge, skills and values they need to engage with the world. And its about the
belief that we can all make difference.
How we talk about the social, environmental and economic actions of people and
communities who know that every person is a citizen of the world.
It is about how decision in one part of the planet can effect people living in a different
part of it. And about how we all share a common humanity and are of equal worth. It
means being open to engaging positively with other identities and culture and being
able to recognize and challenge stereotypes. It is also about how we use and share the
earths resource fairly and uphold the human rights of all.

Why is Global Citizenship so Important

As we continue to face even more challenges such as climate change, food shortages,
migration, and limited resources we have to make decision. People who don’t take a
global mindset will not be prepared to deal with the real word issues today effectively.
Simply believing you live inside of the bubble will not change the fact that each system
and continent is connected.
