Introduction to Global Citizenship

Global learning and the promotion of global citizenship should follow naturally as part of becoming Rights Respecting. This course aims to introduce you to these concepts by offering clarity about global citizenship linked to rights.

You will explore what we mean by global citizenship and explore various practical ways in which you can start to highlight this in your setting.  You will share your current practice and we will introduce activities and examples from other schools to help you develop global citizenship in your curriculum and practice.

This course is particularly suitable for RRSA coordinators who are working towards Bronze or Silver or who are new to RRSA and/or Global Citizenship. You may wish to attend with your Eco Schools, Green Flag or Fairtrade coordinator.

Objectives are:

• To explore what we mean by global citizenship in a Rights Respecting school.
