The idea for this book came from the Education First initiative, with which UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon declared Education for Global Citizenship one of the three top education goals worldwide. But what should this sort of education be like? Can global citizenship (or even better, global community) be learnt? And where does this kind of education practice take place, and in what form? International authors address the potential of this undertaking and examine the global community from the perspective of academia, politics, civil society organizations, the arts, sports and philosophy. Issues discussed include musical initiatives and cultural diplomacy; the role of classical languages in global civic awareness; the necessity of a world consciousness; and the difficulties of supranational understanding. Global Citizenship is the fourth publication in the Perspectives on Foreign Cultural Policy series, which sheds light on current topics of foreign cultural and educational policy.
