GCED is not about choosing between solidarity and competitiveness or between global and local identities. Rather, it integrates these concept in balanced way. It prepares learners to be responsible global citizens who are both skilled, cooperative and competitive, locally rooted and globally aware. Thus, GCED plays a crucial role in shaping a more peaceful, inclusive and interconnected world.
