    The course clearly explained how Global Citizenship Education (GCED) is connected to global goals like those of the United Nations. It showed that GCED helps individuals understand global issues such as inequality, sustainability, and peace, which are key priorities in the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
    I learned that GCED is not just about knowledge, but also about values, attitudes, and actions that contribute to a more just and sustainable world. The course helped me see how education can empower people to become responsible global citizens and actively support these global goals in their daily lives.
    In summary, the connection between GCED and global goals was explained in a simple, practical, and meaningful way.
