About This Course

In this course, we will seek to develop a global outlook that equips us with the knowledge and skills required to understand, live, and thrive in the emerging global society. Our aim is to explore some of the essential intellectual capabilities and civic awareness that will help us to become global citizens who are fully aware of causes, effects, and interdependencies of globalisation.

Part of the Moral Education curriculum, this course seeks to foster in students a set of universal values, which will enable them to peacefully interact and connect with people from different cultural and social groups who hold different views and perspectives. It seeks to empower them to become active, responsible, local and global citizens. It enables them to develop mutual understanding, respect for difference and empathy in order to sustain our cohesive and prosperous society. Through dialogue and interaction, students are provided with opportunities to explore different worldviews, to challenge one another's assumptions and attitudes and to develop the knowledge, skills and attitude necessary to think critically, to make informed ethical decisions and to act on them in the interests of their society.
