Course Reviews

  • Kuenga Wangmo Dorjee
    It is a great learning experience! GCED is a complete package for a novice person which includes a wide range of activities that actually made the concept a comprehensive one. It has awakened and transformed me the way I view my surroundings. Now, I pledge to think critically and act responsibly towards peacebuilding. Thank you.
  • Maria Cristina M. De los Santos
    Global Citizenship Education is an opportunity for us involved in the ministry of teaching to continuously uphold the use of responsive gears appropriate to make our students socially engaged. The concepts of citizenship education strengthened my pedagogical approaches to make my class collaboratively involved thus increasing the depth of the learning styles of my students.
    As a Professor in business, our course plans are anchored along the development of competencies towards making our graduates a conscientious entrepreneur. Sustainability, Accountability and Transparency are few of the business morals and practices we want to implore to our students. Societal engagement in business should erupt from a simple business plan to a much wider organizational planning, hence, the importance of global citizenship education.

    This course is perfect just for GCED learners starting from scratch! I could not imagine a simpler and more comprehensive way of learning such a seemingly complicated concept. This course also allowed me to debunk some myths and misconceptions about GCED. This topic indeed is a must for all people from whatever field of study.
