ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book focuses on the challenges for the enabling requirements for Global Citizenship Education. It presents some reflections about the role of lifelong and adult learning in addition to basic classroom instruction. The book talks about Global Citizenship Education as a new social movement. The proposal is a new social movement, or an amalgamation or partnership of multiple social movements, particularly when many of them are transnational. The idea is the creation of a new partnership between the nation-state, UN institutions, communities and social movements into a new global social compact. The book argues most social movements fail to promote a model of citizenship building that will embrace the majority of the population that is a citizenship model that is workable ethically, politically and procedurally in constitutional terms.
