Global Citizenship Education (GCED) is a collective effort that involves parents, caregivers and the entire community. Parents and caregivers play influential roles in the lives of learners, especially during the formative periods. As learners engage with the broader community, the individual or collective values of community members influence and inculcate GCED-related competencies in learners. By actively engaging these stakeholders, we can shape the future generation into responsible global citizens who contribute to building peaceful, just and sustainable societies.

This handbook aspires to engage and involve parents, caregivers and the community to join the mission of developing every learner into a global citizen. To achieve this, parents, caregivers and the community will need to be empowered with the necessary GCED knowledge and skills too.  In this handbook, GCED related concepts are introduced, alongside adaptable step-by-step action plans and best practices collected across the Asia-Pacific region to support parents and the community to take action in developing GCED competences in learners.
