Character development is an essential part of the education we provide. The Global Citizenship programme helps pupils to understand their role in the world, to aid their transition to empowered engaged social change-makers who will have a positive impact in society.
Foundations
There are two key foundations to the Global Citizenship programme, the college values linked to the duty to serve, and the UNESCO framework, specifically linked to Sustainable development Goal 4.7.1 and the eight competencies of UN Education Report (2017). Global Citizenship Education (GCED) aims to build a respect for all, to empower pupils to become proactive contributors to society, developing core competencies to ensure that they are able to actively engage with the world and so make positive social change.
Collaboration
The programme could not run without collaboration, both within and outside of college. Many projects are built in partnership with local, national or international community groups. “The Big Gold Box” is an example of both, seeing the Global Education, Chaplaincy and Global Citizenship areas of college come together to deliver an immersive programme for pupils to link with communities around the world, so better understanding global issues and their interconnectedness, empathy and encourage intercultural understanding.
