There are some information about GCED such as it's background, concept, etc. thanks to the new knowledge and experience...
  • Wainright Acquoi
    My participation in the course has given me a deeper understanding of GCED (Global Citizenship Education) and the concepts explored in the course has given me renewed optimism for the future of education and global citizenship. GCED, as presented in the course, is not new, but an evolving phenomenon of learning that builds upon other models. This realization is the crucial first insight I draw upon completing the course because rather than reinventing the wheel, we have an opportunity to become creative and innovate upon what we already have, and present in ways that are easily relatable, understood, and practiced.

  • NGNAOUSSI ELONGUE Cedric Christian
    Throughout the 12 chapters of this course, I learned about GCED concepts and its history, and guidelines for teaching and learning GCED. I gained an understanding of the key principles of GCED, recognized educational issues relevant to GCED, and identified pedagogical approaches to GCED.

    I have learned that GCED is all about learning to Know, to Do, to Be, and to Live Together. Though all principles are essential to achieving the fundamental goals of education, ‘Learning to live together’ is very important and relevant in this age of globalization.

  • Adarsh pa
    "I am really impressed with this course because it made me realize about the need of education for transformation and to know the world in deeper sense away from ethnic differences for global citizenship. I am in love with GCED course and encourage all to take it up to help oneself and others at large being an agent of change as it enables one to be a contended leader who can sweep over any situation that arise in the society. I am fully satisfied taking this GCED course."

    Thanking you.
