● Global citizenship emphasizes the idea that individuals are 2nd page: plan
members of a global community and have responsibilities to
that community. It involves recognizing common humanity, 3rd page:
valuing diversity, understanding global interconnections, and abstraction and
taking action to address global issues such as poverty, ppt
inequality, environmental degradation, and human rights
violations.

Education for Sustainable Development

● Education for Sustainable Development is a holistic approach
ABSTRACTION
to learning that integrates the principles and practices of
sustainability into all aspects of education. It aims to
empower individuals and communities to understand the
interconnectedness of social, economic, and environmental
issues to make informed decisions and take actions that
promote sustainability.

What is Education for Sustainable Development and Global

Citizenship (ESDGC)?
● An integrated approach to education that combines the
principles and practices of both sustainable development and
global citizenship. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of
environmental, social, economic, and cultural issues at local,
national, and global levels. ESDGC seeks to empower
learners to understand and address complex sustainability
 3

challenges while promoting a sense of belonging to a global

community and a commitment to social justice and equity.
● The fundamental aim of ESDGC is to equip people with the
knowledge and skills to deal with the major challenges that
face the world and its inhabitants, such as climate change,
fuel and food shortages, biodiversity and species extinction,
international wars, terrorism, and poverty

ESDGC is about:
• The links between society, economy and environment and between
our own lives and those of people throughout the world.
• The needs and rights of both present and future generations.
• The relationship between power, resources and human rights.
• The local and global implications of everything we do and the
actions that individuals and organisations can take in response to
local and global issues.

(ESDGC Why? What? How? ACCAC 2002)

What is Multicultural Education?

● Multicultural education, as defined by Banks and Banks
(2001), encompasses an idea, a reform movement, and a
process aimed at restructuring educational institutions. Its
primary objective is to provide equal academic opportunities
for diverse groups, including students of different genders,
abilities, races, ethnicities, languages, and cultures. This
approach entails a range of programs and practices promoting
educational equity for women, ethnic minorities, language
minorities, low-income groups, and individuals with
disabilities. According to Gay (2000) and Ladson-Billings
(2004), multicultural education involves implementing a
culturally responsive pedagogy facilitated by trained
instructors.

The relationship between Global Citizenship and Education for

Sustainable Development, and Multicultural Education
 4

1. Relationship between Global Citizenship and Education for

Sustainable Development, and Multicultural Education

● Multicultural Education connects with Global

Citizenship Education and Education for Sustainable
Development by fostering appreciation for diversity,
social justice, and democratic principles. Further,
Multicultural Education highlights the importance of
local and national contexts and advocates for the
transformation of education to better represent the
diversity among learners.

● There exists a mutual connection between Global

Citizenship, Education for Sustainable Development,
and Multicultural Education. The relationship
enhances each other by providing diverse views to
tackle the intricate challenges of the 21st century. Its
correlation is strengthened through common
objectives, principles, and approaches, as it can work
together to advocate for learner-centered and
experiential teaching techniques. Moreover, it can
endorse the integration of topics across disciplines,
fostering a more comprehensive and transformative
educational journey.

2. Relationship between Global Citizenship and Education for

Sustainable Development, and Multicultural Education with
Transformative Education

● Transformative Education is a flexible approach that

seeks to reshape individuals and society through
relevant and empowering education. Aligned with
Global Citizenship and Education for Sustainable
Development, as well as Multicultural Education its
shared goal is to cultivate knowledge, skills, and
values for a peaceful, sustainable world.

● Beyond these frameworks, it addresses root causes of

global challenges, questions educational paradigms,
and promotes a holistic vision valuing diversity and
social transformation. It's an adaptable concept across
educational levels, involving a collaborative and
participatory approach. Key principles include
prioritizing learners, embracing experiential learning,
and encouraging transformative action for positive
social change.

Global and Local Current Initiatives

International

Culture is not only a sector of activity in itself, but also a transversal,

intrinsic component across the public policy spectrum, acting as an
enabler to accelerate sustainable development processes.”

The integration of culture in development processes, strategies and

policies at the national level is already well underway across the
broad public policy spectrum:
1. reducing poverty through jobs, skills and employment in the
cultural sector
2. strengthening quality education for all and social justice
3. providing context-relevant responses to foster environmental
sustainability

The Impacts of Global Citizenship and Education for

Sustainable Development, and Multicultural Education

Impact of Global Citizenship Education (The Global Citizen

Academy, 2021)
1. Awareness of World Events and Issues
Having a keen awareness of everyday occurrences in the world
allows you to determine problematic trends or phenomena which will
motivate you to take action, no matter how small it may be.

2. Learn About Personal Values and Aspirations

Learning about the world will enable you to discover new aspects of
yourselves that were not apparent to you before.

3. Become a Leader
One can develop essential leadership skills and values such as
empathy, cooperation, appreciation of diversity, and many more to
recognize the challenges of the world in maintaining world peace.

4. Promotion of Sustainability
Global citizenship education can mobilize individuals to positively
impact their communities and gear toward sustainable ways of living
and development.

5. World Peace
By instilling a culture of peace, global citizens will not foster
injustices in the economy, society, and environment.

Impact of Education for Sustainable Development (Green Office

Movement, 2020)
1. Learning Outcome: Create Changemakers!
Education for Sustainable Development enables students to act,
intervene, and ask critical questions. It improves their systems and
anticipatory thinking through sustainable education to design
projects, policies, and campaigns relevant in mitigating world issues.
Students can be agents of change by developing values such as
teamwork, partnerships, leadership, democracy, and participation.

2. Learning Content: Teach topics in interdisciplinary

perspective
 7

Students can learn topics from the intersection of various

perspectives. They will obtain a richer picture of quality from an
economic, social, and environmental perspective.

3. Pedagogy: Initiate learner-centered, interactive, and

action-oriented teaching
Education for Sustainable Development empowers students to
collaborate in solving real-life problems outside the four corners of
the classroom. The teacher only acts as a facilitator, and the students
are active and responsible for their learning.

Impact of Multicultural Education (Dunghav, 2021)

1. Awareness of Different Cultures
Being aware of other cultures besides your own inculcates an attitude
of respect, sensitivity, and empathy towards the culture of others.

2. Cultural Integration
Education with diverse cultures foster a sense of belongingness
inside and outside the classroom.

3. Responsible Citizenship
Multicultural Education creates competent citizens that have a
positive social attitude. With a positive social spirit, they can fulfill
their rights and duties to the nation and cooperate with other citizens.

4. Cultivating Global Spirit

Globalization paved the way to learning about other cultures. Thus,
Multicultural Education will enable people across nations to create
unity through diversity by establishing positive partnerships.

5. Cultural Exchanges
Multicultural Education enables easier access to cultural exchanges
which enables everyone to explore the cultural heritage of others.
Thus, it empowers people to preserve and nurture the principles of
cultural diversity.

What can we do as students to promote Global Citizenship

and Education for Sustainable Development,
and Multicultural Education?

1. Create a Globally Minded Project

Taking proactive steps to address global challenges is an ambitious
endeavor. However, by actively brainstorming solutions and
formulating action plans, we can contribute meaningfully to
resolving these issues. As Henry Ford wisely stated, “Whether you
 8

believe you can or you believe you can’t, you’re right.” Let’s
approach these challenges with determination and a positive mindset.

2. Volunteerism

Volunteering one’s time for a worthy cause has a profound impact on

a young person’s life. It fosters gratitude, broadens perspectives,
facilitates connections with new people, and cultivates valuable
skills. Opportunities to volunteer exist both abroad and within our
local communities. In the present era, refugee communities are
dispersed across the country, and numerous organizations are
dedicated to assisting their settlement. Embracing global citizenship
involves actively participating in our global community, whether on
a small or large scale.

3. Go to an International Festival

If you are a student residing in a town with a diverse international

population, you likely have access to annual or semi-annual festivals
that celebrate the richness of your community. These festivals may
take the form of multicultural events, where various national and
ethnic groups are represented, or they might focus on a single
nationality. If you happen to live in a smaller town where such
festivals are infrequent or nonexistent, consider exploring nearby
towns within a couple of hours’ drive. Organizing a group trip to
attend these festivals can be an excellent way to foster global
awareness and sensitivity among your fellow students.

4. Cultural Awareness Club/Host a Cultural Day at School

Depending on your school’s size, you might consider joining or
starting a Cultural Awareness Club/Host a Cultural Day . Each path
provides an opportunity to celebrate diversity and immerse yourself
in foreign cultures. Participating in ongoing events such as music or
dance performances, themed parties, or organizing a day-long
summit can significantly enhance the visibility and reputation of
your clubs. Additionally, taking on organizational responsibilities
offers valuable leadership development.

5. Go to an Ethnic Restaurant/Host a Potluck

Few things can bridge cultural gaps as effectively as food. Ethnic
meals serve as vivid examples of culture, offering a sensory journey
that transcends borders. I distinctly recall my first encounter with
Ethiopian cuisine—eating with my hands, the unfamiliar flavors—it
was an enlightening experience that sparked my curiosity about
Ethiopia’s history and culture. Similarly, dining at a Peruvian
restaurant or savoring Korean or Indian dishes can evoke similar
 9

transformative effects, opening doors to understanding and

appreciation.

6. Take on a Service Learning Project

Service learning projects extend the transformative impact of

educational travel by providing participants with opportunities to
actively contribute to local communities in meaningful ways.
Through service learning, participants gain education, engagement,
and simultaneously assist communities in need. While undertaking
such projects abroad can be exceptionally transformative, there are
also numerous ways to get involved in your own hometown.

Title: Tag! your line!

Strategy: Participants are encouraged to develop their own tagline to

promote the advocacy, allowing them to showcase creativity within
the template provided by the instructor. Following this, they are to
share their tagline on their preferred social media platforms,
effectively spreading awareness and promoting the advocacy to a
APPLICATION wider audience.

Instruction: Create your own tagline promoting the advocacy for

Multicultural Education, Global Citizenship and Education for
Sustainable Development. Use the template given by the instructor
