Think Globally, Act Locally! A Global Education Strategy

The article proposes a vision on the strategy of global education, based on the “Think globally, act locally” motto. We analyze the most common features of the concept of globalization, in order to propose strategies for the development of specific skills of global thinking and local action throughout life, in the contexts of formal, non-formal and informal education and learning. We establish, based on our own reflections and on those of the authors cited in the article, that the teaching strategies for global education ought to pursue scientific positivism, truthfulness of information, contextualization, extrapolation, and shaping links with global and local reality on several vectors.
