Global Citizenship
Personal & Social Development · Empathy & Social Awareness · meta
Understand what it means to be a citizen in an interconnected world where decisions in one place affect people elsewhere; explore global issues (climate justice, forced migration, global health, poverty) through an empathy lens, distinguishing facts from value judgements; engage with the ethical tension between obligations to those close to us and obligations to distant strangers; introduce evidence-based giving and effective altruism as one framework for thinking about global responsibility; develop a personal, reasoned stance on global citizenship that acknowledges complexity
Check your understanding
When Global Citizenship reads about a crisis happening in another country, can they describe how they think about their own responsibility — and name one practical thing young people can genuinely do about large-scale problems rather than just feeling helpless?
