Global citizenship
Everyone is a citizen of the globe but are we global citizens?!
Do we acknowledge our responsibility to all humankind as well as the earth itself? In this Global village that we live in today our communities are more interconnected than ever before. Global citizenship is about understanding the need to tackle injustice and inequality in our world, and having the belief that we can all make a difference!
Global citizenship education is in
line with current government thinking, 
and is very important in helping
children and young people realise
their responsibilities.
The idea and importance of
global citizenship in the school
curriculum is growing and as a
consequence we are developing
programmes for schools in which
we can share our experiences
from Peru.
The Vine Trust can play a significant role in enabling schools to create global citizens offering curriculum on world poverty, global citizenship, religious and moral education. For more information on our resources click on our primary and secondary pages.
Our Peru Expedition also offers senior pupils an 'education through experience', taking in the sights and culture of this South American country as well as seeing firsthand the work with street children and our medical projects.
