This paper presents a multi-voiced response to the question: how might conflict and difference be conceptualised in global citizenship education (GCE) imaginaries in Canada? It offers responses from six educators engaged with GCE research and practice in higher education institutions in Canada.

The Government

This study was attempted to analyze teacher's awareness, attitude and challenges in implementing Global Citizenship Education in Pakistan. A questionnaire was constructed and filled by teachers of ten public sector universities of Punjab. Perceptions of two hundred and thirty-five teachers were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings were highlighting that teachers showed a low level of awareness towards global citizenship education; however positive attitude towards global citizenship education was counted. Implementation of GCE is essential in order to prepare a civilized generation. However, there are some challenges teachers have encountered in implementing Global Citizenship Education in higher education institutions, such as inadequate environment, no provision in education police to teach it as a subject and lack of training regarding GCE. In order to promote GCE in Pakistan, the government may adopt the Canadian/USA/Australian or England roadmap or may use material and support provided by Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency (QCA) for executing GCE.

Student attainment of capabilities associated with global citizenship remains a priority for higher education institutions. We report on a scoping review of empirical studies to explore how global citizenship is understood and enacted in higher education. The 29 included studies span the arts, psychology and social sciences, professional degrees, purpose-designed global citizenship courses, and community development, service, and educational travel programs. Notwithstanding considerable diversity in study aims, methodology, and how global citizenship was described, we were able to discern an overarching framework to describe the theoretical contributions to global citizenship education. Our findings contribute to building conceptual clarity both for educators charged with developing curricula and for higher education researchers seeking to explore and evaluate the outcomes of global citizenship education.

Global Citizenship Education

The present paper provides a reflection on global citizenship education (GCE) in the internationalization agenda. With that aim, the internationalization of higher education (IHE) is discussed from a critical perspective, mainly informed by postcolonial and decolonial studies. More specifically, the paper addresses GCE issues related to criticisms that have been raised against it in terms of (1) its different educational approaches, (2) its cosmopolitan bias with its (3) ideological frame of the so-called “global citizen”. Some alternatives to mainstream approaches to GCE and IHE are offered in the conclusion, based on the contributions of Stein (2017), Andreotti (2015) and Fiedler (2007), who advocate for the otherwise approach and/or postcolonial learning spaces.
