Course Reviews

  • Wilma Salas
    In my opinion, the course on Global Citizenship is a unique experience because it promotes awareness of the differences of people from all over the world and that awareness of the differences of people can lead to acceptance and tolerance of different cultural practices. The sequencing of topics are easily relatable to the observations that students have from their surroundings.
  • Jovelyn Delosa
    The concepts are clear and brief.
  • Ren Magoncia
    I think this course has given me insights on how to even enrich and make my lessons meaningful and profound. By integrating GCED to some of my lessons I am imparting knowledge but also to encourage students to think and make actions to global issues we are facing. With that I thankful for this course and may this reached to even more teachers.
  • Jayvee Silvia
    Thanks to this program because I do learn a lot specially in integration of cultural and peace education to the subject taught in high school. Hope that this program continued and reach more people or educator.

    I attended the first class in which I could share the dynamic impacts of climate change across the world where the participants came from. The climate change impacts have been accelerating increasingly. The global society need to take an action to address the extreme impacts excerbating the pre-existing vulnerability of the global society.

    I have to say, i have just joined this course and i am 14 years old. And i just learnt sooo much eventhough i have just started my course. The course has been designed and made me realise how detailed the world can be. I have a strong desire to contribute to the SDGs by working with people at the local level.
  • Jackson Payno
    Because the GCED was so beneficial, I think I should learn more about world issues. The course has been thoughtfully designed so that even individuals with limited English proficiency can understand it. I have a strong desire to contribute to the SDGs by working with people at the local level.
