Overview

This interdisciplinary project brings together ideas from philosophy, psychology, sociology, and education to imagine what World Citizenship Education could look like in the future. We explore this theme from various angles, including East Asian perspectives, the connection between education and the arts and culture, and the consideration of how the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can inform new approaches to teaching and learning.
