Global Citizenship
Understand what it means to be a citizen in an interconnected world where decisions in one place affect people elsewhere; explore global issues (climate justice, forced migration, global health, poverty) through an empathy lens, distinguishing facts from value judgements; engage with the ethical tension between obligations to those close to us and obligations to distant strangers; introduce evidence-based giving and effective altruism as one framework for thinking about global responsibility; develop a personal, reasoned stance on global citizenship that acknowledges complexity
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Global Citizenship means practising the idea at the table with real materials and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.”
Bring to the table
- Scenario or frame cards for Global Citizenship
- Paper and a pencil
Extra for the adult
Worked example. Adult shows one clear example for Global Citizenship, then the child tries a matching example with a reason. Larger handwriting would not change the idea.
Optional challenge. For Global Citizenship, add one harder example after success.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: examples tried; reasons; support used. This session samples Global Citizenship, not mastery.

Global Citizenship means practising the idea at the table with real materials and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.
Materials: cards/paper for Global Citizenship. Adult models one concrete example. Child completes three matches or retells with reasons. Done: three correct responses with a spoken reason each. Stop after those three; keep optional challenge for another day.

“When your child reads about a crisis happening in another country, can they describe how they think about their own responsibility — and name one practical thing young people can genuinely do about large-scale problems rather than just feeling helpless?”
