Abstract

Global citizenship education is recognised as a pedagogical approach used alongside the curriculum application, aiming to cultivate active and democratic citizens within our global societies. The importance of promoting a global agenda in education has been highlighted by many international organisations. Although many countries have been working towards mainstreaming this approach in formal education there has not been substantial research evidence coming from the context of Greece. Hence, this study aims to explore how Global Citizenship Education practices can be incorporated within the context of one Greek primary school. This study adopts an action research methodology and predominantly uses qualitative methods. The findings present the challenges and the opportunities of incorporating Global Citizenship education in one Greek primary school. Furthermore, it reveals the teaching and learning practices that were implemented by the teachers, as well as opportunities for their professional development.
