GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP
Being able to imagine a world in which there is peace, justice, equity and opportunity for all to achieve their full potential is the basis of Global Citizenship. It is essential that young people are enabled to become responsible Global Citizens of tomorrow, with a sense of their own role in the world, capable of making tough choices and taking action to bring about change. |
