    This is the superb course for both the novel teachers to learn global citizenship education (GCE) and the teacher who currently employees in global education field. Although I have worked as the GCE teacher in international school in my country, in an account of a lack of teacher training, I didn't have enough knowledge for global education. From this course, I have learned different terms of Global education , how it effects to our teaching process and promote the learner's outcomes. This course makes me more confident and the key elements of global education is my preferred part. This is also interactive course even though it is online and i highly recommend for teachers to attend this course.

    This course has been a massive enlightenment module for me on issues affecting us globally.
    Formally, I was mere supporter of global education but now I am proud to be a stakeholder in the total achievement of GE objectives.

    This was a really useful course as a teacher and middle leader in the international school sector. It gave a good overview of the various definitions, concepts and issues involved in teaching global education. It has helped me engage with the wider academic debate in the field, but has also given me practical suggestions for how to develop and make more rigorous our own global learning pathways in school. I'd recommend this for anyone involved in teaching or designing global education pathways for any age group of students.

    This is a very interesting course on global education. I have learned a lot of things on global education. I feel so empowered so engaged in the process global education citizenship. I would be pleased with another adventure of this kind.

    I present all my gratitude to our lead educators and all these teachers who shared their experiences through videos. I hope I will be lucky to meet you one of these days. I really feel sad that the adventure is at its end so early. Thank you so much for everything.

    I have been an educator for over 15 years, in the USA and in the UK. I have never realised how much of Global Education is embedded in the English National Curriculum but it is through this course that I have learnt about the pedagogical guidance, the extensive research and the practical approaches of this subject in actual practice. I feel very empowered and motivated to continue to use Global Learning as the 'golden thread' of my practice and to continue to learn more about it.

    It was a immersion into Global Education, Citizenship, Critical Thinking and also how the world view to global issues of importance is evolving.

    There are so many tools, research studies as well as research based frameworks suggested to enhance teaching-learning in the classroom.

    Must do, for all educators out there.

    Awesome course. Really inspiring and transformational. Tons of practical application suggestions, activities, lesson plans, resources. The course leaders were extremely active and responsive on the chats and it was great to learn from the other students as well.

    This was such an amazing course! It was very easy to follow and you learn a lot. I wish it could have been longer to learn more, but I will be looking into the master's program.
