This book enriches the discourse around Global Citizenship
Education in teacher education through the example of a teacher's
experience in a Canada-China Sister School reciprocal learning
landscape. Instead of positioning global citizenship teaching and
learning as a set of fixed goals to be attained by teachers alone,
this book approaches global citizenship teaching and learning as
unfinished lifework in progress and as situated curriculum problems
to be inquired together by university researchers, school teachers,
and students under the spirit of reciprocity and community. This
reimagination of narratives, theory, and action start from
collaborative and reciprocal learning partnerships among Chinese
and Canadian researchers and teachers in the practicality of
re-searching and re-enacting the purpose and meanings of
twenty-first century education in a Canada-China Sister School
setting.
