What, then, is a global citizen? 46 Current Issues in Comparative Education K. Hendersot and J. Sperandio Data gathered directly from students in this study suggest they perceive a global citizen to be the following: one who engages in activism; is open minded and accepting of other cultures in a respectful, tolerant and non-judgmental fashion; pursues knowledge and seeks understanding; feels part of the human community; and possesses a sense of awareness, which includes not only self-awareness, but also awareness of the interconnections between local and global issues and of the impact of one’s actions on the world.	cache/cice-11439.pdf	txt/cice-11439.txt
