Presentation

Global Citizenship

What is Global Citizenship? What does it mean to be a Global Citizen? In my talk, “Becoming a Global Citizen,” we will explore these definitions and understand why the world needs more  global citizens. I will use experiences that I have gained through Rotary’s Adventures in Citizenship, Model United Nations, and other educational forums to communicate how I have grown my own sense of global citizenship.
