Teaching and Learning for
Comprehensive Citizenship
Ultimately concerned with how citizenship education for peace can be
enriched through interdisciplinary learning, this edited volume reveals the
role of peace education in global citizenship by illuminating instruction for
comprehensive citizenship.
A truly international collection, this volume offers timely insights from
countries including Argentina, Mexico, Spain, Canada, Bangladesh, Korea,
Zimbabwe, and Timor-Leste as it provides critical, in-depth analyses of
peace-oriented instruction in formal and informal settings. The text
illustrates how citizenship can be effectively developed on both a global
and a local level and discusses the practical learning opportunities that
can enact change through schools, nongovernmental organizations, and
community-wide civic actions with children, youth, adults, and families.
This text will appeal to academics and researchers involved in the feld of
international and comparative education and will be of interest to educators
and school leaders concerned with the role citizenship plays in the context
of teaching and learning.
