The Global Citizens for Sustainable Development Teachersโ€™ guide aims to introduce teachers to Global Citizenship Education (GCED) and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). It provides secondary school teachers with ideas and activities to help students become global citizens and sustainable development actors.

 

The Teachersโ€™ guide draws on the discussions and activities of almost 1,100 participants from 104 countries, including ASPnet National Coordinators, school principals, teachers, students and experts who contributed to the Online Collaborative Platform ASPnet in Action: Global Citizens Connected for Sustainable Development in 2014 and 2015 [http://en.unesco. org/aspnet/globalcitizens] with associated activities and initiatives.

 

The Teachersโ€™ guide provides:

  • An overview of what it means for learners to become global citizens and of how learners can contribute to sustainable development.
  • Ideas for classroom activities that can help secondary school students to develop knowledge, skills, values, attitudes and behaviours that promote GCED and ESD.
  • Selected activities on GCED and ESD from ASPnet schools around the world.
