How can you embed global citizenship in your curriculum? Year of publication: 2012 Corporate author: National Committee for International Cooperation and Sustainable Development (NCDO) This handbook offers tips, guidelines and inspiration for embedding global citizenship in your curriculum. It also helps your school answer the following questions: 1. What do you want to achieve? 2. Where is your school today? 3. What needs to be done? 4. Where to start? This publication is not a blueprint for embedding global citizenship in secondary education, but hopefully it will help you on your way to achieving that goal. Global citizenship in primary and secondary education in the Netherlands Year of publication: 2012 Author: Lette Hogeling Corporate author: National Committee for International Cooperation and Sustainable Development (NCDO) NCDO has examined the opinions and methods of teachers and directors with regard to global citizenship, as well as the obstacles and opportunities they experience around global citizenship in education. More than 1,500 teachers and almost 300 directors have participated in the research. A large majority of the teachers in primary and secondary education think that global citizenship is an important subject for Dutch education. Also, the majority of the teachers are of the opinion that it is important that the lessons link up with current events. Nevertheless, only a minority of the teachers in primary and secondary education believe that global citizenship should be a compulsory part of the curriculum. It is mainly teachers of geography, economics, cultural and social subjects who are of the opinion that global citizenship is an important theme. Global citizenship: from public support to active participation Year of publication: 2012 Author: Christine Carabain | Shelena Keulemans | Marije van Gent | Gabi Spitz Corporate author: National Committee for International Cooperation and Sustainable Development (NCDO) This publication explores the concept of global citizenship by drawing on the most relevant, mainly scientific, literature. This exploration will in the coming years be the basis for NCDOโs programmes in the area of research, staff training, and knowledge sharing. NCDO has the important task of engaging people in these two major changes in perspective: what does it mean, how important is it to us, how can we contribute to it? NCDO considers it its responsibility to raise awareness amongst Dutch citizens of the growing connection and mutual dependency between people across the globe, as well as to make them aware of the opportunities they have to help tackle global issues. In other words: NCDO aims to advance the global dimension of citizenship in the Netherlands. But what exactly is that global dimension of citizenship? Despite growing awareness of the importance of global citizenship, a clear and broadly accepted definition of the concept is still lacking (Hart, 2011). To date the concept is often explained by using examples and focus areas. This publication will present the definition of global citizenship that NCDO will employ in the coming period.
