Technological advances, climate change, and political instability impact at a local level around the world. These challenges are especially relevant to children and young people, who are inheriting a world more complex, connected and globalised. To develop a ‘global youth’ capable of driving development and sustainability, young people must be able to grasp the global and local dynamics at play in the issues they face and be equipped with the knowledge and know-how to take action.

Building capacity in key skills will facilitate youth to identify the challenges they face at a local level, whilst understanding the effects on a global level. Delivered in parallel to the standard curriculum, Get Global provides an experiential learning environment with engaging activities themed around the Sustainable Development Goals. The practical social action opportunities make Global Citizenship Education accessible and relevant to the local context.
