Course Reviews

• RVJ Gatchalian

  This course offered a valuable and well-integrated perspective on Global Citizenship Education (GCED), Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), and Media and Information Literacy (MIL), grounding these concepts in real-world application. It deepened my understanding of how media shapes perception and action—something I’ve encountered in my own work in disaster response and youth advocacy—and reinforced the importance of ethical, people-centered storytelling. What stood out most was how the course connected critical thinking, empathy, and responsible communication as essential competencies in addressing global challenges, especially in combating misinformation and empowering communities.

  While SDG4 directly targets education for sustainable development, prevention of violent extremisim and the global peacebuilding, I thought this course in particular targetting media literacy, advocacy campaigns and how GCED is impacted and how it can impact Youth around the world really showed me the interconnectivenss of such important topics and further enhanced my crititcal thinking skills. It also inspired me to not only apply to the 12th YLW workshop but also find other opportunities to involved myself. I am extremly satisfied and would recommend this course to others.

• SHREE HARINI T

  This GCED course helped me better understand what it truly means to be a global citizen in today’s interconnected world. One of the most important takeaways for me was realizing that global challenges such as inequality, misinformation, and social division cannot be addressed individually, but require collective responsibility and empathy.
  
  The course also highlighted the strong connection between Global Citizenship Education (GCED) and Social Emotional Learning (SEL). It made me reflect on the importance of not only understanding global issues, but also developing skills like empathy, critical thinking, and responsible communication.
  
  As a Computer Science student, I found the discussions around media, digital spaces, and information literacy particularly relevant. It made me more aware of how technology can both contribute to challenges and be used as a tool for positive change.
  
  Overall, this course has encouraged me to be more mindful of my role in society and has motivated me to actively engage in initiatives that promote inclusion, awareness, and responsible digital behavior among young people.

  This course deepened my understanding of global citizenship, both in theory and in practice. Global Citizenship Education (GCED) is closely connected with Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), making it essential for a global citizen to not only grasp GCED values but also develop emotional intelligence, which strengthens their sense of responsibility. By incorporating real-life examples, the course made it easier for learners to recognize and relate to the values of global citizens.

  This course helped me better understand global citizenship as a practical and everyday responsibility rather than an abstract concept. I particularly appreciated how the course connected theoretical concepts with real-world examples, encouraging me to reflect on my own role as a young person in promoting inclusive and sustainable development
