GO Glocal Summary

To mitigate risk in the post-COVID 19 education sector, Thai learners require a new range of skill sets, including communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. These transferable skills are essential tools to enable students to move towards a competency-based curriculum that defines essential knowledge, skills, and attributes. Hence, teachers need support to access comprehensive resources and guidance designed for transforming teaching and learning.

The essence of citizenship literacy should be reconsidered, resulting in new strategies emerging from a reflective thinking process that can be applied at an inter-subject level to increase cohesion. Prior knowledge of the world and personal experiences reflect one’s own personal, social and national issues. Regardless of geographical location, Global Citizenship Education (GCED) brings current challenges into the spotlight. It is necessary for Thai students to gradually be exposed to multiple social, political, and environmental deprivations on a global level as GCED raises awareness of positive efforts in these areas.

Perceptions, values, and attributes are shaped by information received and the way one processes it. Individuals are connected to their core set of values and these values govern the way one decides to live in the world and relate to others. Supporting the development of critical thinkers involves reflective teaching and learning that allow students to use their critical stances with an open mind and a confident attitude.

The aim of Go Glocal is twofold:

1. To provide adult and young adult learners broader educational perspectives, a sound basis of concepts on global citizenship, human rights, and gender equality using technological tools.

2. To provide ready-made English content promoting critical thinking skills with flexible options for both online and offline learning modes.
