Global Citizenship Education: The role of Technology

Abstract: Global Citizenship Education (GCED) aims to empower learners to assume active roles to face and resolve global challenges and to become proactive contributors to a more peaceful, tolerant, inclusive, and secure world.

Being a Global Citizen requires our students to develop not just knowledge but also the socio emotional and behavioral skills required to live in a world with new challenges. During this workshop we will focus on the role technology can play to develop GCED in your class.
