Definition of “Global
Learning for Engaged Citizenship”
An educational process that enhances one’s competencies for
participating responsibly in the diverse, multicultural,
international, and interdependent world.
KSU’s definition of global learning corresponds well with
the one provided in a recently published working paper of
ACE’s Global Learning for All project. Those national
experts had this to say about global learning:
“...we define global learning as the knowledge, skills, and
attitudes that students acquire through a variety of
experiences that enable them to understand world cultures
and events, analyze global systems, appreciate cultural
differences, and apply this knowledge and appreciation to
their lives as citizens and workers.”
