The Global Citizen Academy offers enrichment in the areas of debate, global citizenship, leadership, sustainability, Model United Nations, creative thinking, and many other exciting out-of-the-classroom skills development programs. As a member of the SDSN Youth, The Global Citizen Academy’s programs are designed to equip learners with 21st century competencies. In line with the skill sets identified by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21), The Global Citizen Academy’s 4Cs approach to skills development helps equip learners with the necessary skills and views that will cultivate true global citizens. Through interactive learning experiences, TGCA develops global citizens who think critically, communicate effectively and contribute passionately. These are invaluable learning moments that will not only better prepare learners for higher education but also for a meaningful career and future. Our teaching framework 1.
