Download or read book T Kit 7 European Citizenship in youth work written by Mara Georgescu and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At what level should young people engage in society? What impact can local youth organisations have, when faced with massive European or even global issues? The concept of European Citizenship is deeply connected with the ideals of democracy, participation and human rights in Europe and beyond. On the one hand, many young people express those ideals in multiple ways, as active citizens, outside and inside formal democratic structures. On the other hand, it is still a challenge to stimulate many young people to engage more in society and feel concerned by wider European or global processes. This T-Kit was written to find ways to stimulate young people to engage more in society, thus exploring citizenship, and to support them as they develop their sense of belonging to the wider community, Europe, as they become concerned about, and committed to, its values, its present and its future.

Download or read book The Global Citizenship Nexus written by Debra D Chapman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-08 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spirit of Ivan Illich’s 1968 speech ‘To hell with good intentions’, the book takes aim at a ubiquitous form of contemporary ideology, namely the concept of global citizenship. Its characteristic discourse can be found inhabiting a nexus of four complexes of ‘ruling’ institutions, namely universities with their international service learning, the United Nations and allied international institutions bent on global citizenship education, international non-governmental organizations and foundations promoting social entrepreneurship, and global corporations and their mouthpieces pitching corporate social responsibility and sustainable development. The question is: in the context of Northern or Western imperialism and US-led, neoliberal, global, corporate capitalism, and the planetary Armageddon they are wringing, what is the concept of global citizenship doing for these institutions? The studies in the book put this question to each of these four institutional complexes from broadly political-economic and post-colonial premises, focusing on the concept’s discursive use, against the background of the mounting production of the global non-citizen as the global citizen’s ‘other’. Addressed to all users of the concept of global citizen(ship) from university students and faculty in global studies to social entrepreneurs and United Nations bureaucrats, the book’s studies ultimately ask whether the idea helps or hinders the global quest for social and economic justice.

Download or read book Passport to Freedom written by Garry Davis and published by Nwo Publications. This book was released on 1992 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 1948, former Broadway actor and WWII B-17 bomber pilot Garry Davis renounced his U.S. nationality as a personal action for world peace and declared himself a World Citizen. Since then the movement he set in motion has spread around the world. World citizenship has become central to varied visions of global peace and justice." Passport to Freedom draws on Davis' four decades of experience, offering timely and practical insights and advice for anyone who agrees that the nation-state system itself is one of the greatest threats to humanity today. Davis argues persuasively that individual sovereignty is the key to challenging the arbitrary war power of nations, and proposes a revolutionary strategy for the growth of a democratic World Government of World Citizens for world peace. Passport to Freedom reveals dramatically and often with humor how World Citizenship can be a powerful moral and political tool that reveals the living reality of One World. But it is more; it is a source book of theory and practice that can reempower the individual as well as humanity. Through numerous examples, both from his own action and that of others, Davis demonstrates that World Citizenship based on human rights is not merely a noble theory. It works. Thousands of people have used the World Passport described in this book to enter and leave more and more countries and successfully challenge national bureaucrats around the world. For many refugees, World Citizenship often means the difference between freedom and death. As an inspiring story and practical guide to all seeking a positive solution to war, this ground-breaking book in our troubled times will provide readers with their own "passport to freedom."
