GCC 2: Global Perspective Building

Location: HL B106
Thursday, September 29, 2022, 01:00 pm - 03:00 pm

The Global Citizenship Certificate is a one of a kind certificate that prepares you for living, working and succeeding in a culturally diverse and rapidly changing world. Through a combination of workshops, intercultural experiences and co-curricular activities, you will gain a highly valued global perspective, deepen your understanding of human diversity, interconnectedness, cultural complexity and enhance your understanding of local and global communities. 
 

This workshop will introduce students to the concept of global citizenship, including relevant knowledge, skills, values and civic actions. Learners will reflect upon the rights and responsibilities of citizenship within communities at local, national and global levels, and explore the historical and contemporary contexts that shape what it means to be a global citizen. Students in the program will examine the political, economic, environmental, cultural, technological and social implications of globalization and global citizenship through experiential activities, debates, videos and critical reflection.
