Importance of global awareness
Global awareness in the classroom involves teaching students about different nations and cultures, as well as their civic duties and rights both locally and globally. An ability to understand, respect and work well with people from diverse cultures is increasingly important for social and academic success in an interconnected world.
The idea behind global awareness is to create global citizens who are open to those raised in different countries, cultures and religious settings. For teachers, it’s an opportunity to open students’ eyes to how everyday decisions in their own lives can impact the lives of people around the globe.
WHY IS GLOBAL AWARENESS IMPORTANT?
The world is as big as it ever was, but it certainly can feel smaller—especially to the new generation of students—because of the power of the internet and global communications. What happens in faraway countries can seem as close as what happens across town.
The guiding principle behind global awareness is to create a more peaceful and just society. Doing so requires an understanding of people from other backgrounds and cultures. Teachers can have one of the strongest impacts on young people in achieving that goal.
