About the Course

This course introduces the SDGs and the notion of Global Citizenship through a series of lectures by renowned experts from all over the world, interviews with scholars, advocates, and representatives from all different sectors, and case presentations by active global citizens. The course aims to examine and critically reflect on the revolving issues around the globe at local, national, and international levels by providing a platform where learners can virtually meet and learn from one another. Learners will be able to deepen their understanding of the SDGs and global citizenship, exchange and embrace different perspectives, and challenge their own assumptions.

 

The course invites those who see themselves as global citizens as well as who aspire to assume active roles in bringing meaningful changes to oneself and to the society they are in.

 

In particular, applicants for this year's 10th Youth Leadership Workshop on GCED should complete this prerequisite course for the application.

    This course is very enriching with knowledge that I have never been exposed to before. Through this course, I discovered that I’m a global citizen due to the duties and responsibilities I have performed throughout my life.
  • Asmaa Abdelrahman
    This course is very enriching with knowledge that I have never been exposed to before. Through this course, I discovered that I’m a global citizen due to the duties and responsibilities I have performed throughout my life. This valuable course deepens my understanding of the global citizenship concept, how to practice it, how it relates to the SDGs, and enables us to build more equitable, secure, safe, and sustainable communities. In addition, it gives me the opportunity to connect with and learn from others’ opinions, experiences, and perspectives around the world through their posts and messages.

    Moreover, the way of presenting the information in all tutorial videos is very simple, easy, understandable, and worthy. I will remain proud all my life of what I have learned from prestigious lecturers like Ban Ki-moon, Hans Schattle, Carlos Alberto, Lotz Moller, the GCED youth network, and others who teach us through these recorded lectures, panel discussions, and interviews. I couldn’t also forget to transfer my appreciation to the training team at APCIEU for their great support and immediate response to our requests and questions.
