I've just finished some conversations with UNICEF Canada about working together to deliver workshops to our teacher candidates at Laurier regarding global citizenship. I'm meeting with Free the Children (founded by Craig Kielburger) next week to talk about how we might work together as well. One of the exciting things about global/glocal education is the willingness of people and groups to work together.
More on how we might work with UNICEF and Free the Children in future blogs!
"Global" and "local" are constructs which no longer adequately capture our lived experience. "Glocal" attempts to capture the melding of international and local realities. This blog provides an opportunity to consider how we can develop glocal thinking and encourage others to do so as well.
