Global citizenship education is a term that has come aboutthrough the Sustainable Development Goals in particular,in terms of international development, global development,as part of the Sustainable Development Goal four to do with education.There is an aspect in that, which sets as a target the introduction of global citizenship education.Meaning, a means of developing understanding,but also a means of developing skills,that enable people to make an active and a positive contributionto sustainable development in the world.The global aspect comes within the setup of saying: "We are all global citizens"in that we all contribute to or can contribute to sustainable development that affects us here,as well as elsewhere in the world.So that's the kind of background to it.Development does not just happen in, what the European Unionstill somewhat quaintly calls developing countries.It is something that is happening across the globe, also in Europe,and because of our interdependence, with the rest of the world,what happens and how we act as citizens of the European Union,as inhabitants of Europe, how we act in terms of our consumption,how we act in terms of the policies that we promote amongst politiciansor the ones that we vote for through elections, those kinds of policies,that kind of behaviour, consumer behaviour,will affect what is happening elsewhere in the world.The whole consequence of COVID-19 and the lockdowns have significantly affectedthe Development Education and Awareness Raising projects.The fact that you can no longer meet your supporters, meet your potential audienceface-to-face means that you have to find new ways of doing things.Quite a few of the projects have been able to do, for example,the education work that they are doing through onlineteaching and learning activities,working with teachers or providing teachers with ideas onhow the internet-based or other online-based kind of programmescan help them in looking at issues of global development,including at how COVID-19 affects people elsewhere in the world,as well as in Europe.A number of projects which were very much based on face-to-face work have found it very difficultto change the attack.And they will need a lot more time and thinking about how they can achieve their objectivesby using virtual means, rather than face-to-face means.
