Global Citizenship Education is nurturing a new generation of global citizens.

People, places and economies are increasingly becoming more interconnected and interdependent. Ongoing global issues are affecting everyone. We need an education that can help our students learn how to live together in harmony, builds respect and empathy for others and inspires them to take positive action today.

What are GCED Projects?

Global Citizenship Education or GCED is a form of civic learning that aims to empower learners of all ages to play active roles both locally and globally to build a more peaceful, tolerant, inclusive and safe societies. This site provides project-based-lessons and example lesson plans aligned to Malaysia's national syllabus for both students and teachers to explore.

GCED is a strategic area of UNESCO’s Education Sector programme and builds on the work of Peace and Human Rights Education.

GCED is based on the three domains of learning - cognitive, socio-emotional and behavioural.

Cognitive

Students will have the knowledge and thinking skills necessary to better understand the world and its complexities.

Socio-emotional

Students will gain values, attitudes and social skills that enable learners to develop affectively, psychosocially, and physically and to enable them to live together with others respectfully and peacefully.

Behavioural

Students will be able to conduct, performance, practical application and engagement.

Each project focuses on an important theme and takes students through an educational exploration to answer essential questions. Students learn through videos, discussions and interactive activities with different themes like climate change, gender inequality, building sustainable cities to name a few to inspire them to solve world's most pressing problems, today.
