“No act of kindness, no matter how

small, is ever wasted.”
From Aesop’s “The Lion and the Mouse” fable

Global Citizenship

refers to a sense of belonging to a broader community and

common humanity. It emphasizes political, economic, social and
cultural interdependency and interconnectedness between the
local, the national and the global.

It nurtures personal respect and

respect for others, wherever they
live.

It encourages individuals to think deeply and

critically about what is equitable and just,
and what will minimise harm to our planet

It help learners grow more confident in standing

up for their beliefs, and more skilled in evaluating
the ethics and impact of their decisions.
 IMMERSION STEM

Global citizenship education three core conceptual dimensions:

Cognitive
To acquire knowledge, understanding and critical thinking about global,
regional, national and local issues and the interconnectedness and
interdependency of different countries and populations.

Socio-emotional
To have a sense of belonging to a common humanity, sharing values and
responsibilities, empathy, solidarity and respect for differences and
diversity.

Behavioural
To act effectively and responsibly at local, national and global levels for a
more peaceful and sustainable world.

A Global Citizen is someone who:

is aware of the wider world and has a sense of their own role as a world
citizen
respects and values diversity
has an understanding of how the world works
is outraged by social injustice
participates in the community at a range of levels, from the local to the global
is willing to act to make the world a more equitable and sustainable place
takes responsibility for their actions.

To be effective Global Citizens, young people need to be:

flexible, creative and proactive.
able to solve problems, make decisions, think critically.
able to communicate ideas effectively and work well within teams and groups.
These skills and attributes are increasingly recognized as being essential to succeed in
other areas of 21st century life too, including many workplaces. These skills and
qualities cannot be developed without the use of active learning methods through which
pupils learn by doing and by collaborating with others.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,

committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s
the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead
Volunteerism
Volunteering is best known as an act done for the benefit of others, but that’s not to say you
can’t take away a lesson or two along the way. These lessons could shed light on the principles
of doing good, the community in need, and even yourself. Whether it’s volunteering in foreign
country for several months, or simply spending a few hours manning a bake sale or picking up
trash, these are six things you stand to learn as a volunteer.

Invaluable lessons from volunteering

1. EVERYONE HAS A STORY

Whether volunteering at a nursing home, soup kitchen, or homeless shelter,
acknowledging everyone’s individual circumstances and stories makes for a more
complete and fulfilling volunteer experience.

2. SMALL CHANGES CAN HAVE A BIG IMPACT

As a volunteer, you come to the understanding that simple actions can have a big
impact.

3. SMILES ARE UNIVERSAL

If you’ve volunteered abroad or within a community unlike your own, you’ve probably
figured out that smiling is part of a universal language. A simple smile can permeate
language, cultural, economic, or other barriers and can relay the message that you care.
When in doubt, flash those pearly whites.

4. GRATITUDE
Volunteering brings with it a deep appreciation of all that you have in life and helping
those in need is a firm reminder of what really matters - like family, friends, and health.

5. VOLUNTEERING IS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE

Volunteering can mean learning about different communities, organizations, and fields,
as well as learning more about yourself.

6. ONCE A VOLUNTEER, ALWAYS A VOLUNTEER

 IMMERSION STEM

The fulfillment that comes with helping another human being, the satisfaction from
knowing you’ve made a difference, and the good old fun factor, are just a few reasons
once is never enough.
