Looking back at the first day I started this course I had no clue what being a global citizen meant. But after a few lectures, readings and discussions on seminar day I came to realise I was a global citizen all along..I just never knew it!!!!
Being a global citizen to me means, being a part of your local community, communicating with others who are either the same race as you or different. We can learn from anyone and everyone, it just takes open ears and an open mind. I think to maximise you affect as a global citizen you must act locally in order to make an affect globally.
I believe education is key. Knowledge is priceless. Learning not only about ourself, but the world we are a part of, we can then learn how our actions and our behaviours have consequences. Education can teach how we can become active global citizens in our communities, starting small like voting in your local elections, cleaning up your community, donating blood and volunteering in local charity events.
