Starting with ‘Understanding Global Citizenship Education,’ the training continued with sessions divided into elementary and secondary sections, sharing teaching cases on human rights and environment and introducing learning process plans applicable to actual school classes, all carried out with the passion and interest of the attending teachers.

Lee Kyung-ok, Director of the Education Welfare Division, said, “I would like to express my gratitude to all the teachers who conducted and participated in this training,” adding, “We will spare no interest and support at the Office of Education level to maximize educational effects through the full application of global citizenship education in school settings.”
