    I really love this course so related to me as an educator
  • Wangmo
    this course introduced me to the concept of GCED and 17SDG and precisely SDG 4.7. I am now able to relate my profession as a teacher to GCED. I have learned that I have more role to play as a teacher. My assumptions on the application and incorporating GCED in elementary grades has changed.
    All twelve chapters has its own highlights and it was progressively linked to the other. The explanation of each slides, chapters, topic, examples were relevant and useful for me to understand. I had learned a great deal and today my perspective about my professions had changed. Thank you GCED for providing such an opportunity to learn about GCED online.
    best wishes and prayers.

    This course is an eye-opener to understand the basics of Global Citizenship Education. The best part of this course for me is knowing the Pedagogy as a transformative approach and it's principles. The whole course is very understandable and simple, where anyone can understand the concepts easily.
