About the Global Citizenship curriculum

The Global Citizenship curriculum is a complete, self-paced course in personal development, organised into 3 progressive levels and 9 modules. It opens with Foundations of How global systems connect and Core methods in Human rights, moves through Applying Migration & identity and finishes with expert-level work on Leading practice in From local to global action and Mastering Advocacy skills.

Across the whole path you work through 27 individual topics — from How global systems connect and Hands-on: how global systems connect at the start to Putting advocacy skills to work and Checking your understanding of advocacy skills by the end. The levels are estimated at 6 weeks · about 24 hours, 8 weeks · about 32 hours and 10 weeks · about 40 hours. Each level assumes the one before it, so you can work straight through from Intermediate to Expert, or start at the level that matches what you already know.

It is built for independent learners who want a serious, structured introduction rather than a collection of tips. The path mixes explanation with small reflective exercises, so the ideas become habits you can actually sustain.

Every module pairs a written summary with a worked example, a short quiz to check the idea landed, and a project brief drawn from real practice. You are never asked to take a concept on trust: the reasoning, the common mistakes and the situations where the approach stops working are all laid out, so you finish a module able to explain the idea rather than only recognise it.

What you’ll be able to do

By the end of the Global Citizenship path you should be able to work confidently with:

Intermediate Global Citizenship

Start with How global systems connect, Human rights and Migration & identity. Each module explains the idea, shows a worked example and ends with a short project, so Global Citizenship becomes something you can do rather than something you have only read about.

Modules: Foundations of How global systems connect · Core methods in Human rights · Applying Migration & identity

  • How global systems connect: How global systems connect is introduced from first principles, with the few terms you actually need and an example that shows how the idea behaves in practice.
  • Hands-on: how global systems connect: How global systems connect is where many Global Citizenship learners first get stuck, so the module slows down, isolates the difficult step and rebuilds it with you.
  • Common pitfalls in how global systems connect: How global systems connect is introduced from first principles, with the few terms you actually need and an example that shows how the idea behaves in practice.

Project: Write a one-page explanation of How global systems connect in your own words, with an example you chose yourself, and test it against the module checklist.

Advanced 8 weeks · about 32 hours 3 modules 9 topics

Advanced Global Citizenship

Build on the intermediate level through Sustainable development, Trade & labour and Media & misinformation. The emphasis shifts from knowing the ideas to choosing between them — trade-offs, failure modes and the reasoning behind each decision.

Modules: In depth Sustainable development · Patterns and trade-offs in Trade & labour · Scaling Media & misinformation

  • Sustainable development: Sustainable development is pushed past the textbook case: competing approaches, their trade-offs and the situations where each one breaks down.
  • Hands-on: sustainable development: The module examines Sustainable development closely, including the assumptions beneath it and what changes when those assumptions stop holding.
  • Common pitfalls in sustainable development: Sustainable development is pushed past the textbook case: competing approaches, their trade-offs and the situations where each one breaks down.

Project: Produce a short case analysis in which Sustainable development drives the recommendation, including the alternatives you rejected and why.

Expert 10 weeks · about 40 hours 3 modules 9 topics

Expert Global Citizenship

Work at the edge of Global Citizenship through Intercultural communication, From local to global action and Advocacy skills. The modules assume fluency and ask for judgement: designing, critiquing and defending work at a professional standard.

Modules: Frontiers of Intercultural communication · Leading practice in From local to global action · Mastering Advocacy skills

  • Intercultural communication: Intercultural communication is examined at the frontier, with an emphasis on open problems, rigorous argument and decisions you can defend.
  • Putting intercultural communication to work: This module asks you to critique and extend Intercultural communication rather than simply apply it, producing work another expert could review.
  • Checking your understanding of intercultural communication: Intercultural communication is examined at the frontier, with an emphasis on open problems, rigorous argument and decisions you can defend.

Project: Write a professional-standard brief on Intercultural communication — argument, evidence, limitations — plus a plan for taking the work further.

Once you have finished, the Global Citizenship path is a reasonable foundation for your own practice, teaching and community work.
