They take an active role in their community and work with others to make our planet more peaceful,
sustainable and fairer.

This time we are going to discuss about "On Global Citizenship"

Connection across cultures is a crucial component in fostering empathy on a global scale. As such,
broadening one’s horizons and stepping out of your own experience is essential in order to develop
empathy for others.

One way to achieve this goal is by diving head first into global citizenship. But what is global citizenship?
What is a global citizen? And how do you become a global citizen? Let’s look into the answers to these
questions, as well as some of the ways in which you can expand your global citizenship education.

GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP

-While it may mean different things to different people, the most common global citizenship definition is
the idea that all people have civic responsibilities to the world as a whole, rather than just their local
communities or countries. So, by expanding one’s personal horizons through global learning, you are
able to effect change in a more meaningful sense on both a small and larger scale.

What does it mean to be a global citizen and how do you become one?

Global citizenship is more than a title — it’s a mindset. In the emerging digital world, the international
community is getting closer and closer, yet if one chooses not to act, it’s easy to stay in a bubble. Being a
global citizen simply means having a willingness to do this with people from different nations and
cultural backgrounds.
The global citizen definition you should use is more about being connected and garnering an
understanding of cultures beyond your own. This looks different for different people. What does it mean
to be a global citizen for you? It could start with something as simple as researching a new country or
making friends with an immigrant neighbor. It could end with traveling abroad and contributing to
community efforts to advance education, health, or environmental conservation. Working to solve our
shared global challenges is so important, and this drive to make a positive impact is most effective when
it stems from the feeling of global citizenship and being a member of an international community.

So then, how does one become a global citizen or improve their global citizenship skills? What do you
have to do in order to get this kind of global education and world mindset? When people make the
decision to become global citizens, they have already made a step in the right direction towards
expanding their global awareness, but there are some things — both small and large — that you
personally can do to create global citizenship in your own life. Here are just a few.

Learn About the World Even before you hop into international travel, there are ways in which you can
learn about the world. The internet is a wonderful resource, and a massive web of information is
available with just a few clicks or taps of your finger. If you cannot visit specific countries or cultures,
with the internet you still have a way to learn and understand their experiences. This could be through
reading, but also through connecting with others across the world and talking with them about your
shared and contrasting life experiences. Did you know you can be an online tutor to young international
students? Have you ever sought out Twitter accounts of people from different countries? It’s easy to get
close to people from different cultural backgrounds. Try to understand issues that you do not face
regularly, and explore things outside of your regular purview. With the technology that is now available
to us, it is not too much of a stretch for anyone to increase their global citizenship.

Learn About Yourself Being a part of any community involves giving and receiving. As you learn about
the world, you should see some mindsets change, and you may discover new interests and causes to
explore. Are you passionate about social or political involvement? Do you wish you could alleviate
climate change? Do you have the skills to teach English online or help on an organic farm? Knowing what
you care about and what you want to offer to the world will help you develop your own global
citizenship. You’ll quickly find that you have something to offer — and the potential to make a positive
impact.

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.
Education for global citizenship is not 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.

The benefits are felt across the school and beyond. Global citizenship helps young people to:

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.

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.
