Guest Editorial: Critical and Creative Practices of Global Citizenship Education in the Digital Age of Information and Communication Technologies

Abstract

Much has been written about the affordances and limitations of new and globalised learning technologies for educating democratic communities. However, the connection between global citizenship education (GCE) and information and communication technologies (ICTs) remains relatively underexplored, especially concerning their impact on promoting critical consciousness and social justice. This lack of exploration creates a knowledge gap, as we currently fall short of a comprehensive understanding of how educators worldwide utilise ICTs to foster GCE critically and ethically, and more broadly contribute to the common good—considered a pivotal element of political and social morality. This special issue examines how educators are effectively integrating GCE into their classroom practices in the digital age.
