This document discusses global competence and how to develop it in students. Global competence is defined as the ability to understand and act on globally significant issues. It involves core concepts, skills, attitudes, and behaviors needed to thrive in an interconnected world. Teachers can help students develop global competence by incorporating activities that investigate the world, recognize perspectives, communicate ideas, and take action. These approaches can be integrated across subject areas.
