  1. Enabling requirements for global citizenship education • Clarification: of the theoretical framework for global citizenship education. Remove ambiguities. • Bare essentials: Economic citizenship cannot be accomplished without bare essentials, including the right to a job, education, medical care, housing, retraining over the course of life. • Principles: Respect for human rights, social justice education, planetarian citizenship for sustainability, migration and diversity, cognitive democracy, enhancing the proliferation of public spheres, school reform promoting global citizenship education • Agents: international system, NGO’s, social movements, federal governments, local or regional governments, school systems, non-formal education systems. • Teaching methods and curriculum that facilitate global citizenship education, including new models of teaching social justice education and peace education. • Institutional recognition of the topic in the school systems.

  2. Missing links in the current status and practice of global citizenship education Resources • Human Rights: nationalism as domestic citizenship versus human rights as universal citizenship. • Tension between globalism and social justice • Planetarian citizenship or social justice for the planet (sustainable environments) • Migration (shows one of the main limitations of human rights) • Knowledge society: Cognitive Democracy (social, intellectual, ethics, aesthetics, emotional citizenship)

  3. Priority tasks to undertake at the national and global levels • Understanding education not only as a ritual of initiation. The educationalexperience is in and by itself citizenship education because it is a political experience. The politics of schooling should understand the dialectics of the global and the local in identity formation. • Promote education as cognitive democracy, that is as knowledge experience, as emotional experience, as ethical experience and as political experience not exclusively as human capital training. • Reclaiming the concept of the ‘public’ in public schooling geared towards the public good. Social justice education as a global goal for a cosmopolitan global citizenship. • Education for all should include higher education as a central component of citizenship building. Universitas as universal citizenship. • Adult education and lifelong learning should promote a multicultural critical media literacy. There is a very important role of UNESCOin this area. • Hybrid cultures identities and diasporic citizenship should be recognized as the trademark of the current process of globalization. Migration is in the DNA of human beings.
