Lesson 1—Global Citizenship

Why and how should we respond as global citizens?

Get Focused

We assume that most people will respond in emergencies. We often turn to our friends, family, and community to help us when we need them. In most situations the people around us quickly respond. What about global emergencies? Is a global response required from all citizens? If we choose to respond, how can we respond?

Research

Responding to Global Events
