5. GLOBAL IS PART OF OUR LIVES
• socially through media (tv, video, audio,
press, social media)
• culturally through people moving (students,
immigrants, refugees…)
• economically through world trade and
agreements
• environmentally through living on the same planet
(climate change, pollution…)
• politically through international relations,
organizations…
6. Schools need to prepare students for a
world in which people need to work with
others of diverse cultural origins, and
appreciate different ideas, perspectives
and values.

Global competence is the capacity
• to analyse global and intercultural issues critically and
from multiple perspectives
• to understand how differences affect perceptions,
judgements and ideas of self and others
• to engage in open, appropriate and effective
interactions with others from different backgrounds on
the basis of shared respect for human dignity
