    Through the course , i learnt that it enhance you and your society, it makes you really feel you are living among those that matters in the global village. it teaches me on the concept of mind re- orientation and orientation, it has also build my capacity in having more value on humans and seeing more reasons why Racial discrimination is an asore to political , economic and social development of the world in general. GCED is the most effectual practical knowledge which of great necessity in recent times , especially as the united Nation keeps clamoring for peaceful co-existence and reducing conflict and outbreak of wars to the bearest minimum .hence global citizenship makes us to value each race , no matter the colour, skin or language and respect the core value of Morality , equity and justice.....I AM A GLOBAL CITIZEN..... I YOU?

    Becoming Global Citizens for a Sustainable Society´ was a fruitful and enjoyable experience! It felt as if I was in an actual physical classroom sharing with my classmates and learning the most I could from the knowledgeable lecturers and fellows as well. It allowed me to deepen my knowledge on GCED and contextualize Global Citizenship in the society we live in, this thanks to the well-elaborated videos and documentaries that helped me better understand the topics. This course also allowed me to connect with people from different parts of the world as well as to get to know how other countries are advancing on achieving sustainability. Thank you everyone who made this possible and for sharing such valuable content! This training has really impacted me so much to become an innovative, sensitive and social entrepreneur in all field of engagement. Many thanks to the team and my wonderful comrades who engaged in this course. Remember, we are change-makers ready to impact and instil change..... I am a Global Citizen, what about you?

    Through the course I have learnt that Global citizenship is the sense of belongingness to the common humanity and is the idea that all people have rights and civic responsibilities that come with being a member of the planet. The idea is that one’s identity transcends geography or political borders and that responsibilities or rights are derived from membership in a broader class: "humanity". The course have really ignited my interest in global citizenship, deepened my understanding of the SDGs and critical issues around the world and furthermore enhanced my motivation and commitment towards contributing to making this world a better place, leaving no one behind.
    In all and all it was an enriching experience and great learning platform and i look forward to learning more from this GCED Online Campus.
