Welcome to OneWorld Classrooms' Global Citizenship Forum!

Global citizenship is an important concept behind OneWorld Classrooms and the international partnerships it creates between K-12 schools. On this page, we will post responses from K-12 students and teachers to these two question:

For students: What is global citizenship?

For teachers: As teachers, how can we prepare our students for global citizenship?

Please send responses to globalcitizens@oneworldclassrooms.org. We will list some of the responses on this page and in our E-newsletter, The Connected Teacher.

"As our world becomes more interdependent and the problems we confront more global, it is critical that our young people gain knowledge, skills and attitudes that prepare them to enjoy the benefits and accept the responsibilities of global citizenship." From OneWorld Classrooms Mission Statement
