What is global citizenship education (GCED)?

Global citizenship education (GCED) aims to equip individuals with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to actively engage in the global community as responsible and informed citizens. This type of education promotes intercultural understanding, respect for diversity, critical thinking, and social responsibility. 

Global citizenship education is important for adult learners because: 1) it provides them with the tools to navigate a rapidly changing and interconnected world, 2) it helps develop critical thinking skills which are essential for engaging with complex and pressing global issues, and 3) it fosters a sense of social responsibility.
