                                                           What is Global Citizenship? 

Under this slogan, the first experience in secondary schools in Ecuador is developed with the participation of volunteers, volunteers and teams from Argentina, Honduras and Costa Rica.

 

                                                                                       

The School of Global Citizenship is a project led by the VASE Foundation (Volunteering for Social Aid of Ecuador), with the support of the Fund for Innovation in Volunteering (FIV) within the framework of the EnLazando project financed by the Ministry of Europe and French Foreign Affairs. 

Fundación SES participates in the design and the organizations ICYE of Honduras and ACI of Costa Rica join in the implementation of this initiative whose objectives are the training of trainers, the development of workshops in Ecuadorian schools and the scaling of the proposal to other countries and territories.

Global Citizenship is a term that has been heard repeatedly in recent years but has been little explored and little translated in educational settings.

This task becomes urgent. The pandemic has shown us that it is about understanding and interpreting that the human condition is beyond borders or territorial barriers. Incorporating the perspectives of multiculturalism, the care of resources and the responsibility that we have as citizens in our communities but also in digital communities is a task that is always pending in our daily practices and that few institutions address holistically.

Issues such as the economy, the environment, migration and the rights of women, children and dissidence are part of the Global Citizenship agenda.

The School of Global Citizenship seeks that young people between the ages of 15 and 17 from 4 schools in Imbabura, Pichincha and Ambato (Ecuador) have access to tools, knowledge and experiences that allow them to understand themselves as responsible global citizens of their communities.

In turn, this project summons volunteers, mentors and teachers from the schools and organizations that participate, thus promoting a mobilization of multiple actors with the aim of expanding the frontiers of knowledge and experience linked to citizenship.
