Educating for Global Citizenship: A Youth-Led Approach to Learning through Partnerships (Youth Studies)

By Jose Roberto Guevara

This book explores educating for global citizenship in three parts. The first part identifies the field of global citizenship. The second part identifies a youth-led learning approach to global citizenship. It provides an in-depth and original analysis of the Global Connections program introduced into Australian schools and Indonesian communities over the last decade by Plan International Australia, through a case-study approach. Drawing on data from this project and further analysis, the third part outlines the principles behind learning for global citizenship.

Finally, these principles are woven together in a model of inter-agency collaboration between schools, higher education institutions, and non-government agencies. We invite you to explore this fascinating terrain with us.

This book is the work of a team. It reflects a long-term partnership between one international NGO, young people, and two universities.
