Global Citizenship in the 21st Century - A Leap of Faith to a better World: Celebrating Diversity, Inter Racial, Inter Faith and Inter Cultural harmon - Paperback

by David J. Newing (Author)

Over the past two decades, two opposing currents have been building. On the one hand a resurgence of jingoistic nationalism, racial intolerance, violent and distorted radicalized extremism, Xenophobia and Islam phobia.

On the other hand, there is a growing recognition that in a globalized world of instant information and social communication, old prejudices and outdated nationalistic sentiments must give way to a new era of pluralism and well informed global citizenship shaped by universal humanitarian values and ethics

The purpose of this book is to promote, through education and dialogue, global citizenship, multi-culturalism, and mutual understanding and harmony among the people of all races, cultures, religions, and alternative belief systems.

Global citizenship education, including learning about and respecting each other's cultures and faiths, leads to harmony, cohesion and mutual understanding within often increasingly diverse communities and also to the wider, interdependent global community, of which we are all members.
