GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP PROGRAMME

 Connection to Our Mission 

Aligned with ISPP's mission — Inspire Learning, Nurture Community, Build a Better Future — students learn through active engagement with their community, reflect on local challenges and connections to global trends, and collaboratively create solutions. By integrating learning with real-world applications, G.C nurtures a sense of community and commitment to building a better future, both locally and globally.  Students, especially those in the upper grades, are often self-initiating activities that range from semester-long events to sustainable, long-term relationships and initiatives.

 Local and Global Communities and International Mindedness 

The G.C program bridges the ISPP community with diverse local and international partner organizations, emphasizing mutual learning, cultural exchange and sustainable relationships. Projects address pressing issues like poverty, education, and environmental sustainability, linking classroom learning to real-world challenges. This approach nurtures international-mindedness, encouraging students to view themselves as active contributors to a global society. 

 Service and Building Empathy 

The G.C program immerses students in Cambodia’s social and cultural context. Activities such as language, art, mathematics, swimming and collaborative problem-solving projects enable students to connect with their local community, fostering empathy and understanding. Service opportunities are designed to go beyond charity, promoting long-term, ethical, and impactful relationships.

 Complementing Other Learning 

Global Citizenship complements ISPP’s curriculum by integrating with the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) in the Diploma Programme (Grades 11-12). Our approach to Global Citizenship enhances MYP subject learning through hands-on application, and encourages students to initiate projects aligned with their interests and academic strengths.

 Sequence of Learning Through Grades 

The program evolves as students progress:

• Grades 6 – 8: Participate in structured activities, learning through guided projects and exposure to Cambodian culture.

• Grade 8: In the Semester Two, they participate in ‘Project Change’, a small group collaborative project that asks students to identify an issue in their community and propose effective solutions.

• Grades 9 – 10: 9 Students take part in a semester based leaderships course (Grade 9), lead G.C initiatives, applying leadership, creative and critical thinking skills.

• Grades 11 – 12: Individualised CAS projects build on earlier experiences, encouraging independent service initiatives.
