Global Citizenship Education in Praxis by Anders Schultz

Global Citizenship Education in Praxis by Anders Schultz

Internationalisation and intercultural competence are key ideas in contemporary education and have been much theorised and practised in higher education but have not received the same attention in school contexts. Linked to these ideas is an increasing focus on global citizenship and the development of students’ critical thinking skills and self-realisation. This book is based on a decade of experience of combining all three concepts in the practice of an upper secondary school in Denmark which is linked to 16 schools in 15 countries. The book includes both a description of the project by the teachers who have taken part and an analysis by researchers who have worked with them to deliver the programme.

This inspiring text introduces an innovative new approach to integrating global citizenship into schoolsIt covers both theory and practice, and features case studies for school subjects ranging from ESL and foreign languages to science, geography and history. A valuable addition to the bookshelves of teachers, administrators, scholars and politicians! * Kip Cates, Professor Emeritus, Tottori University, Japan *

This important book is essential reading as the first comprehensive account of a whole-school programme of Global Citizenship Education complemented by critical academic commentaries. Teachers at Rysensteen School in Denmark provide lively, practical and inspiring examples of how to promote Sustainable Development Goals, human rights and a political dimension.

This volume offers a critical stance on theory and practice of global citizenship education (GCEd) through the lens of teachers and researchers, with examples from the Danish education system. It is an invaluable resource for teachers, school leaders, and graduate students who want to learn about how GCEd can be organised inside and outside classrooms.
