global citizenship

Borderless community membership

Global citizenship is an outlook that emphasizes connection to humanity as a whole rather than allegiance to any particular nation.

Someone who identifies as a global citizen typically feels responsibility for worldwide issues like climate change, human rights, and economic inequality.

The concept appears frequently in educational contexts, where it describes curricula designed to foster cross-cultural understanding and engagement with international problems.

The university's study abroad program aims to develop global citizenship among students.
