Global Citizenship Education

Here's a quick peek into the places they visited:

• SDG 4 Education: Teacher Buyana visited Nei-Li Senior High School in Taoyuan City on April 12th. This particular goal, SDG 4, is all about ensuring quality education for all. It's amazing how education can shape our future!

• SDG 5 Gender Equality: She later visited Yang-Mei Junior High School in Taoyuan, focusing on SDG 5, which is all about Gender Equality. This goal reminds us that everyone deserves equal opportunities, regardless of their gender.

• SDG 5 Gender Equality: Teacher Buyana also visited Chu-pei Senior High School in Hsinchu City on April 7th, diving deeper into the important topic of Gender Equality.

GCED Taiwan's mission is to explore these significant global issues, such as education and gender equality, within the framework of the SDGs. During our classes, students examine examples from different countries to understand how these goals play out in various contexts. Take, for instance, Mongolia and Taiwan. These two places have unique stories when it comes to education and gender equality. Comparing them can help us see the diversity of challenges and solutions around the world.

In the end, TWIYC.tw and GCED Taiwan are all about building bridges, connecting people, and helping us understand how we can make the world a better place, one small step at a time. So, whether you're a student or a volunteer, you're part of something pretty special!

At the Yilan Green Expo, we've been engaging with our young visitors in a variety of enjoyable activities that highlight the importance of taking care of our planet. Children have been painting the Earth, adding their creative touches to our beautiful blue planet. They've also been coloring the SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) map, learning about the global goals that are guiding us towards a better future.

But Earth Day is not just about art; it's about understanding that environmental protection is everyone's responsibility as a global citizen. We've been playing board games and other interactive activities that teach children and their parents about the significance of safeguarding our environment.

One of the highlights of our activities is the opportunity for visitors of all ages to share their daily practices for protecting the environment and sustaining a green Earth. These valuable discussions emphasize that each one of us, regardless of our age, can make a positive impact by making eco-friendly choices in our daily lives.

As we celebrate Earth Day, let's remember that caring for our environment is a shared responsibility. The "We Are Global Citizens" team is proud to contribute to this mission and to inspire future generations to become stewards of our precious planet. Happy Earth Day! 

This cultural immersion session provided valuable insights into South African traditions and history, encouraging students to embrace cultural diversity and deepen their respect for others. The hands-on African mask painting activity engaged students in exploring cultural symbolism, while the dance activity celebrated the energy and rhythm of South African dance forms.

GCED Taiwan's efforts are molding a new generation of global citizens who appreciate diversity and are prepared to positively impact our interconnected world. Through initiatives like these, students become ambassadors of global citizenship, building bridges between cultures and contributing to a more harmonious world.

The camp's curriculum revolved around four key objectives: enhancing awareness of climate change, equipping students with knowledge and practical skills for sustainability, inspiring active climate action, and fostering global citizenship. Students received lectures and workshops from seven dedicated teachers hailing from Mongolia, Malaysia, Honduras, Burundi, South Africa, and Taiwan, providing a diverse and enriching learning experience.

Through engaging sessions, international teachers, and hands-on activities, students gained a comprehensive understanding of the climate crisis and explored solutions, from renewable energy to eco-friendly practices. This collaborative effort is paving the way for a brighter, more sustainable future, one young environmental champion at a time.
