At GAP, we want to empower primary and secondary school students to take climate action as active global citizens.
Though teacher training, resource development and in-school workshops, our Action on Global Citizenship programme builds knowledge, skills, attitudes and values to help students make a difference in their schools and communities.
Learners are encouraged to approach topics critically, identifying the root causes of global and local issues. Our model of transformational learning equips learners to take meaningful, informed action on these issues, and then to reflect on them.
