In Preparing Global Citizens, Lara Andréa Crivelaro offers us an innovative and urgent perspective on education in the contemporary world. This book articulates an ambitious proposal: to prepare young people to become global citizens, ready to contribute to the sustainable development of society. Crivelaro aligns this vision with the goals of the UN's 2030 Education Agenda, emphasizing the importance of global citizenship at the heart of the development of future generations.
The work challenges the traditional concept of basic education, proposing a revision that emphasizes living in a globalized society, full of diversity and challenges. The internationalization of education is seen as key to forming global citizens, with a deep understanding of the dynamic relationship between local and global, especially in an era marked by significant technological advances.
Crivelaro highlights the school as an essential setting for global citizenship, underlining that, in addition to cognitive development, the social and emotional aspects are equally fundamental for the comprehensive education of students. The book encourages deep reflection on the role of educators in a constantly changing world and on how to assess and develop the global competencies necessary to navigate this scenario.
Crivelaro urges us to rethink education, not just as a set of knowledge to be transmitted, but as a continuous process of experimentation, reflection, and development of human relations based on trust. 'Preparing Global Citizens' is an indispensable guide for educators, administrators, and all those involved in the mission of preparing young people for a globalized, challenging, and opportunity-filled future. I finish the book with the following question, which resonates like an echo through the pages and stays with the reader: "What can I do to make this transformation happen?"
