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. 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.
