Guiding children on the road to global citizenship
Do you believe that a 12-year old can be a global citizen? Join this workshop and learn the skills to help even the youngest of children become proactive global citizens. Through hands-on activities such as classroom simulations, and case studies from different parts of the world, you'll experience the learning process of moving from awareness to social action. You'll also gain a framework of how kids of any age can understand concepts of global citizenship. And… you'll walk way with the design for your own social action!
