Why Global Learning matters

Global Learning is about learning to think global. The world is complex and highly interconnected. Global Learning is important to understand this and get into contact with perspectives outside your own bubble. Globalization leads to stronger interconnectedness and that we are dependent on each other. Global Learning is essential, as we need to learn to work together, break hierarchical thinking and be able to deal with contrary opinions in a constructive way. We all need to work on ourselves to be able to tackle global challenges. COVID-19, global natural catastrophes caused by the climate crisis and also movements all over the world  show that we are all affected by these challenges and that we need to work together for a more sustainable, healthy, equal, diverse and livable world.

​We believe that by changing our thinking towards perceiving diversity as a potential and emphasising the strengths of other individuals, we are better prepared to build our future. The more different we are, the more innovative we are and the more we can give and teach each other!

 

Global Learning is an international concept which allows us to imagine our future in a more positive way.
