The Knowledge Café is a tool to develop Global Citizenship, as a way of living that recognizes our world as an increasingly complex web of connections and interdependencies, with Global Citizenship being “an ethic of care for the world”. Exploring global citizenship themes helps learners grow more confident in standing up for their beliefs, and more skilled in evaluating the ethics and impact of their decisions.
Global Citizenship nurtures personal respect and respect for others, wherever they live. It encourages individuals to think deeply and critically about what is equitable and just. It encourages individuals to think deeply and critically about what is equitable and just.
