Dear Students,

?

We are thrilled to invite you to an enlightening and thought-provoking event that promises to deepen your understanding of global citizenship education (GCED). Global citizenship education is an internationally established framework for transformative education that prepares students to engage in an increasingly complex, interconnected world.

The development of education for global citizenship is as exciting as it is urgent. As an aspirant member of the UNESCO Bangkok-led Asian Network for Global Citizenship Education, XJTLU is excited to have access to the "Step up to the World: 'Tū māia ki te Ao'?global citizenship education forum", where the GCED Cross Sector Panel will be held.
