Global Education
Global education is an approach to learning that helps students to build knowledge about some of the most pressing social issues facing our society and empowers them to create change for children at home and around the world. Interdependence, the fact that we are all residents in the global village and that events in any part of the world can effect change in other parts of the world, is a concept at the root of global education. By acting as responsible global citizens, young people are making choices that create a ripple effect toward global development and peace.
The Global Classroom is UNICEF Canada’s programme to support and expand teaching and learning for global citizenship and human rights across the curriculum. The programme works with the education sector to equip young people to live productively in a rapidly globalizing world. UNICEF Canada’s Global Classroom programme is comprised of a dedicated team of qualified teachers who work with school districts, teachers’ federations, faculties of education and ministries of education to co-create professional development opportunities, learning events and resources that are directly relevant to their needs - drawing on the reach and expertise of the largest agency for the world’s children.
