Focus on Global Good Citizenship Safe * Respectful * Responsible All people have rights and civic responsibilities that come with being a member of the world, with whole-world philosophy and sensibilities. The idea is that one’s identity transcends geography or political borders and that responsibilities or rights are derived from membership in a broader class: "humanity.” Global Education First Initiative -United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organizations

The UN’s Global Education First Initiative notes, “It is not enough for education to produce individuals who can read, write and count. Education must fully assume its central role in helping people to forge more just, peaceful, tolerant and inclusive societies.” According to the UN, global citizenship education provides the understanding, skills and values students need to cooperate in resolving the interconnected challenges of the 21st century, including climate change, conflict, poverty, hunger, and issues of equity and sustainability. These same educational outcomes prepare students to be successful in the workplace of the 21st century as well.
