Course Reviews

  • Dorji wangchuk
    The GCED was so helpful that I feel I should explore more about global concerns. it also help in my teaching learning process
  • FELICIDAD CORENNA BROÑO
    Viewing the GCED videos made me more aware of how I belong not just in my community and country but in the global community. It humbles me to realize that I really cannot and should never be an "island". I need my brothers and sisters from around the globe. I need to be interdependent with them, to be tolerant, empathetic, and understanding. We need to exercise fairness and equality of wealth and opportunity. It's only in this way that we can attain world peace and harmony.
  • Minakshi Iyer
    The GCED was so helpful that I feel I should explore more about global concerns. The course is beautifully structured in a way that it can be very well understood by everyone even if the person doesn't know English well. I am highly motivated to go to the ground level and work with people as my contribution to SDGs.
  • ARLENE GAJARDO
    The Global Citizenship Education (GCED) course was informative and helpful in teaching practice. It taught the importance of education for social change and developing a global perspective free from racial prejudice. It equips one to become an informed citizen and critically literate, socially connected and respectful of diversity and differences, and ethically responsible. This course is essential in today's society.

  • ALBERT MERCADO
    Very informative and it could be of great help in my teaching practice. Integration of Global Citizenship Education may inform and change the perspective of my students in different ways. May this course reach every concern and encourage them to integrate GCED to capacitate and increase the students' learning.
