The Contemporary World: Prepared By: Izabelle Joy A. Algar, LPT

The document discusses global citizenship and its definition. Global citizenship is defined as having an identity that transcends borders and recognizing responsibilities to all humanity. It involves being aware of the wider world and one's role in it, respecting diversity, understanding how the world works, being outraged by injustice, and participating in and acting to make the world more equitable and sustainable. Education for global citizenship teaches these concepts through existing curriculum and new initiatives, helping people build understanding of world events, reflect on their values, take learning into the real world, challenge intolerance, and get involved in communities with a voice to act and influence the world.
