Global Citizen Educational Project – Wings 4th Edition
The main goal of Global Citizen is to provide an international experience for young students
without making them leave their city. The project aims to stimulate high-school students from
public and private schools to think about their role and positioning on society. The sessions are
going to provide them a better perspective of world, improvement of cultural tolerance and
awareness about social responsibility through discussions of topics related to entrepreneurship,
environmental issues, leadership and globalization. We hope to let them well prepared for the labor
market, and to make them realize about their role as local leaders, doing their job as young citizens
with more responsibility. The project also aims to make these young people more interested in
extracurricular activities.
Therefore, our mission is to bring multiculturalism, social responsibility and
entrepreneurship inside schools. Also we are looking for being a positive
influence for students on building and priorization of their values, providing an
improvement of global mindset, both for students and volunteers from the
organizations.
