UNC World View

As a history teacher, global cultures and current issues have always been important for me to introduce to my students. We live in a very complex, interconnected world, and students must be aware of pressing issues and encouraged to reflect, work together, and think creatively and critically to develop solutions to those problems. It is critical for teachers to prepare students for the future as they become the next generation of leaders and policymakers. Global citizenship encourages students to understand and develop important characteristics of respect, tolerance, and awareness as well as develop a genuine love and concern for the world they live in.
