It aims to raise awareness of teachers and students on the issue of local cultural and natural heritage, and Global Citizenship Education Concept, and to introduce World Heritage and Global Citizenship Education topics to the general secondary and high school education programmes of Kazakhstan. For Kazakhstan and Central Asian, it is a first attempt to understand the potential contribution of UNESCO World Heritage Sites to the Global Citizenship Education.
This publication can be separated in three parts. First part presents general description of UNESCO and its cooperation with the Republic of Kazakhstan. It pays particular attention to each Kazakhstan’s site from the UNESCO World Heritage list. Second part covers Global Citizenship Education concept, and main international trends in field of school education in the world. Third part of this publication provides practical guide on the ways that Kazakhstan’s teachers of general secondary and high school education programmes can use World and Intangible Heritage for promotion of global citizenship concept among their students. All three examples of education courses were made as much different from each other as possible in order to provide to Kazakhstan’s teachers a wider choice for preparation of their own classes dedicated to the World Heritage sites and Global Citizenship Education.
