A cheerful, optimistic handbook for parents and carers shaping the
next generation of responsible global citizens - ready to change
the world for the better! Our children have the energy, capacity,
and passion to create and nurture a global culture in which
inclusion, acceptance, respect, and participation are the core
values that underpin a human being's every interaction. As parents
and carers, our job is to help our children take their first steps
along that path. Raising truly globally minded, and socially
conscious children happens at home and in the community. Children
can be inspired, equipped, and mobilized to make a difference in
the world. By encouraging values such as responsible and kind use
of social media, respect, open mindedness, empathy, a sense of
community, parents can help to shape a new generation of
emotionally intelligent, outward-looking, politically ethical world
citizens. Relevant to parents of children of all ages - from
toddlers to teens - the book gives practical advice on how to talk
to your children, the vocabulary to use, and activities and
projects you can undertake with your children, from planting a tree
to keeping a gratitude diary to cooking themed cuisines. And you'll
find out how to model global citizenship through your own
day-to-day actions. Marvyn Harrison is a father of two and founder
