Global Citizenship is about understanding the need to tackle injustice and inequality, and having the desire and ability to work actively to do so. It is about valuing the earth as precious and unique, and safeguarding the future for those coming after us. It is a way of thinking and behaving, an outlook on life, and a belief that we can make a difference.

Global Citizenship promotes the development of skills in: critical thinking; challenging injustice and inequalities; respect for people and things; co-operation and conflict resolution.

It also encourages values and attitudes such as: a sense of identity and self-esteem; empathy; value and respect for diversity; and a belief that people can make a difference.
