Message from the Convenor

It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you to the 3rd GCC International Research Conference on Global Citizenship Education (IRCON GCED 2026).

This conference is more than a gathering of experts—it is a space for connection. It brings together individuals from different disciplines, institutions, and cultural contexts, all united by a common goal: to make education more responsive to the realities of our world today.

As Convenor, I would like to emphasize the importance of your presence and participation. The richness of this conference lies not only in the research presented, but in the conversations that emerge—from formal sessions to informal exchanges. It is in these moments that ideas evolve, partnerships begin, and new possibilities take shape.

We have carefully designed the conference program to create an engaging and inclusive environment where diverse voices are heard and valued. Whether you are presenting your work, facilitating discussions, or participating as a learner, your contribution plays a vital role in shaping the overall experience of this conference.

We also hope that your time here goes beyond academic engagement. Being hosted at Palawan State University offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the relationship between education, community, and environment—an important reminder of why Global Citizenship Education and Education for Sustainable Development matter.

As you take part in this conference, may you find inspiration, build meaningful connections, and carry forward ideas that will create impact in your respective contexts.

We are truly honored to have you with us.
