#globalcitizens #globalcitizenship #Japan #UNESCO #GCED Dr. Bosio’s Zoom guest-lecture on ‘Becoming Critical Global Citizens’ delivered to 300+ university students based in Japan, Toyo University. The guest lecture discusses the importance of cross-cultural dialogue, compassion/empathy for other cultures and sustainability. The guest lecture focuses on three main points. First, it examines the question: What is a Global Citizen? It explains why it is important for you to become a Global Citizen. Then, it goes through core points that might make you a global citizen. These include: becoming aware of belonging to a global community, learning about global issues beyond your borders, creating time for more cross-cultural conversations and connection, cultivating compassion and empathy for other cultures, using your voice to advocate for awareness of global issues, travel and experience new places and culture. The guest lecture concludes with a brief summary of the main points discussed followed by a Q & Q session.
