In the context of this toolkit, Global Affairs Canada defines global citizens as individuals who are aware of global issues and understand the complexity of the world, including their place in it. These citizens usually understand that major global challenges have repercussions in their local reality, and vice versa. They are also aware that Canada’s international development efforts contribute to alleviating global challenges. In some cases, and at different stages of their lives, they may take various types of actions that allow them to take an active role to help build a peaceful, prosperous and inclusive world. | In the context of this toolkit, Global Affairs Canada defines global citizens as individuals who are aware of global issues and understand the complexity of the world, including their place in it.
