Global Citizenship:

Global citizenship is an awareness of our own culture and those of others. It involves showing respect and tolerance for different perspectives, values, and understandings. Being a global citizen creates the opportunity to share our commonalities and celebrate our differences. 

In the context of the school’s mission and in line with UNESCO research we believe that students flourish (Be Great, Feel Great and Do Great) as global citizens when the following three dimensions of intercultural learning are developed:

Cognitive (Be Great): To acquire knowledge and understanding about global, regional, national and local issues; the interconnectedness and interdependence of different countries, cultures and populations; as well as social, economic and environmental aspects of sustainable development. To develop the ability to communicate within and across cultures.

Social and emotional (Feel Great): To have a positive sense of self and an understanding of one’s cultural background; a sense  of belonging to a common humanity, sharing values and responsibilities, empathy, solidarity and respect for differences and diversity. Feeling and assuming a sense of responsibility for the present and for the future.

Action (Do Great) : To act authentically as responsible global citizens, in order to take individual and collective action at local, national or global levels for a more peaceful and sustainable world.
