Education
View global citizenship is an ethos; the
character of our society, by teaching it in
schools. It doesn’t have to be an extra
subject, but an underlying theme in
existing subjects.For example, empower
children by enabling them to aid people
and places in crisis or turmoil as part
of their history, language, English, etc.
classes. Create a global culture and
mindset starting with their own world,
their school.

Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia said to the League of Nations when advising them to stop Mussolini from invading Ethiopia, “Today it is us. It will be you tomorrow.” If your only reason to get involved is because you may need help one day…that’s ok. We are one.
