A Symposium on Igniting Minds: The Educational Value of Global Awareness for Students

This symposium is tailored for a diverse audience, including students, parents, teachers and other education stakeholders. Throughout this event, we will delve into the educational significance of global awareness for students, exploring why an understanding of diverse perspectives is integral to success in today's interconnected world. Our discussions will highlight the role of global awareness in cultivating cultural competence among students, fostering a deep appreciation for diversity and nurturing essential qualities such as empathy, a broadened worldview and the capacity to navigate an increasingly globalised job market. Additionally, we will address the challenges educators may encounter in promoting global awareness and present innovative solutions to overcome these obstacles.

The symposium aims to address questions such as:

How does understanding diverse perspectives contribute to students' success in our interconnected and globalised society?
Why is global awareness considered a crucial aspect of a well-rounded education for students?
How can educators strike a balance between emphasising local knowledge and integrating global perspectives into the curriculum?
In what ways can global awareness positively impact students' future academic and career opportunities?
What role can parents play in supporting and reinforcing global awareness in their children's education?
