Global challenges such as technological advances, climate change, and political instability impact at a local level around the world. We believe that these challenges are especially relevant to children and young people, who are growing up and inheriting a world more complex, connected and globalised than ever before.
To develop a ‘global youth’ capable of driving development and sustainability, children need to leave school with a set of skills that are currently underdeveloped. Young people must be able to grasp the global and local dynamics at play in the issues they face on a day to day basis and be equipped with the knowledge and know-how to take action.
