Global citizenship: what does it mean for schools and social roles in the 21st century

• Out ongoing research regarding school development internationally,  as well as other research suggest that there is little match between the existing theories about what is global citizenship and what schools focus on to prepare youth for life and work in the 21st century. In this exploratory study we are interested in examining the concept in relation to school development. more specifdically we are interested in understanding how the concept is used in the school to inform pedagogical developmentand to expand the purpose and application of interational partnerships for youth preparation. Specifically we examine what is is a global citizen for educators and students and to what extent are the definintions similar and different across nations. similarly, in what ways are schools working with the concept of the global citizen to inform the schools pedagogical and curriculum development.
