This report proposes global citizenship not so much as a curriculum subject or a pedagogical approach, but as an ethical position, a worldview that emphasizes human rights and earth rights, the interconnectedness of all human beings with each other, the animals and the planet, and an awareness of our global responsibilities in the face of the key challenges that we are facing today on our planet.

This document is structured into three sections: It starts by introducing the UNESCO Associated Schools Network and the UNESCO perspective on global citizenship. In the second section, it shows the framework to implement GCED in schools, which will serve as the foundation for a whole school approach to the integration of a GCED perspective in curricula, lesson plans and broader school and community activities. It also gives some selected resources and examples in section three.
