Our society faces challenges and threats that require collective efforts from the international community to solve the problems and to transform our world to make it a more just, peaceful, and sustainable place for all. To recognize these challenges, in September 2015, the global community has adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defining the global priorities and aspirations for 2030. Target 4.7 of SDGs in particular has highlighted the importance of fostering global citizenship among learners at all age-levels. Often times young people have only been perceived as learners, but considering their distinct spheres of action in terms of social, economic and educational aspect within the society, they should be recognized as essential agents of change, as leaders, educators, advocates and learners. In this context, young men and women must assume active roles in promoting global citizenship with their creativity, potential and capacity to bring changes at local and global levels. The Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU) is committed to empowering youth by providing a platform where young people can meet, share, and work together to drive changes towards a Culture of Peace at various levels. The Youth Leadership Workshops on GCED, organized by APCEIU, was held annually since 2015 in collaboration with partners including the United Nations Secretary-General’s Global Education First Initiative (GEFI) and the Jeju Forum for Peace and Prosperity.
The Workshop has enhanced the capacity of global youth leaders by facilitating dialogues, sharing good initiatives and practices, building communities, and strengthening advocacy skills to effectively foster global citizenship. The series of Workshops has led to the creation of GCED Youth Network to renew the members’ commitment and continue to support their actions. Building upon the achievements, the 4th Youth Leadership Workshop on GCED in 2018 will focus on developing effective advocacy strategies to maximize youth contribution in achieving SDG 4.7 through the promotion of global citizenship. Held in Seoul, the Workshop will invite 50 dynamic youth leaders around the world, including those from developing countries and representatives of marginalized groups, and the participating youth will be fully engaged in dialogue and capacity-building training for five days.
