Overview

""Our essential ethical challenge as educators is to broaden and deepen the capacity of our students to imbue their lives with a profound curiosity of mind and a spirit of empathy. But our ethical mission need not-nor should it-end there.""...""We are charged with co-creating concrete pathways of connection with people and cultures beyond our daily lives-to respond empathically to the outstretched hand of the distant, non-intimate other on a global scale."" How can we move students from passive empathy to active global solidarity? In this book, Mark Hyman, Ed.D. examines over twenty-five years of ""experiments"" in nurturing global citizenship values and practice in adolescent youth. Through a candid survey of successes and failures, you will explore: Transnational Connections: Founding global citizenship communities that bridge the gap between local classrooms and the world. Theory into Practice: Integrating the ""face-to-face"" ethics of Emmanuel Levinas into middle school pedagogy. Action-Learning: Real-world initiatives ranging from landmine removal in Bosnia to school construction in Ethiopia. For educators, this text is a guide and an inspiration for your own journey as a global citizenship teacher-facilitator. For the ""citizen of the world,"" it is a testament to the power of global citizenship in our modern world.
