Education that goes beyond just transferring knowledge

Global Citizenship Education (GCED) is essential to be incorporated into schools curriculum in Indonesia. As a multicultural nation with diverse cultures, languages, and beliefs, and one that is also prone to natural disasters, students need more than academic knowledge to navigate real-life challenges.

Through GCED projects, students develop key 21st century skills, such as collaboration, creativity, and communication. Working in teams helps them appreciate different perspectives and build mutual respect. Creativity encourages innovative thinking in solving problems, while communication enables them to express ideas effectively and confidently.

This approach goes beyond the traditional view of education as merely transferring knowledge. Instead, learning becomes meaningful and relevant. By integrating GCED into the curriculum, schools equip students with the skills and values needed to become empathetic, resilient, and responsible citizens in a rapidly changing world.
