Description
Fully updated in its second edition, Global Citizenship Education introduces the concepts, frameworks, issues, and debates which are critical to interrogate Global Citizenship Education. The new edition includes 10 new chapters, a new third section to the book looking at key issues and debates, and updates to all existing chapters. The new chapters cover: global citizenship as an ethical position; global competences; ethical global issues pedagogies; and digital literacy education; global responses to climate change; migration and refugees; populism; democracy; transnational activism; and the curriculum.
Global citizenship education is contextualized within key educational frameworks, including citizenship education, global education, development education and peace education. The authors explore the different ways in which global citizenship can be taught, learned and assessed in formal and informal contexts. Each chapter includes a summary of key issues, an annotated list of key resources, an exercise for students and a further reading list.
