Although this will be my last post
for this blog, it will not be the end of me as a Global Citizen. In fact, it is
just the beginning. Prior to completing this course my expectations of my
learning were quite low as I honestly rated myself as a competent global
citizen. Instead I have been overwhelmed by the value of this course in
reshaping and defining my beliefs on global citizenship and issues of global
importance. Instead I have learnt that global citizenship is an ongoing and
iterative process that I can continue to benefit from for the rest of my life.
In particularly, the biggest thing
I take from this course is the way in which it has changed the way I think
about global issues and myself as a global citizen. I have learnt the highly valuable
ability to cautiously reassess my actions and expectations as a global citizen
to continually develop myself as a better person to contribute to a better
society.
My course work focused on the
following topics:
-
Defining Global Citizenship
-
Globalisation and History
-
Ethics, Leadership and Global Citizenship
-
Challenges to Global Citizenship
-
World issues of concern to Global Citizens, and
-
Participation and Action as a Global Citizen in
the workplace
But what I learnt is much more than
this. I learnt of the interrelationship and synthesis between thse ideas, and
how one topic impacts the other. For instance, how events that occurred as a
result of globalisation have affected our collective thoughts on human rights
and how we respond to these issues globally as global citizens.
Overall, this has left me much
more confidentially and reassured of how I can conduct myself as a global
citizen and contribute to the global as a better member of society. I have
really been challenged by this course on many different levels and found it
both refreshing and insightful to learn a dramatic amount about our world, our people
and our collective values.
La revedere. au revoir and adios.
