Why Global Awareness?
World Savvy: 2012 Global Competency Survey
1 Ekklesia Journal, March 2, 2010, Global Education is Key to Reducing Apathy
Research shows that students who learn “about global issues are more than twice as likely to see the point of personally undertaking social action. Global learning encourages awareness and critical thought about issues such as poverty, climate change, different religions and cultures as well as world trade and politics,” 1 and students who are educated about global issues, from multiple perspectives, are more likely to exhibit tolerance and acceptance of religious, cultural, and ethnic diversity, and demonstrate increased empathy for individuals.
