Why do we study global perspectives?
The importance of global perspectives Global Perspectives encourages young people to engage with others and to participate actively as global citizens in a rapidly changing world. By exploring a range of perspectives on global issues you are challenged to think more deeply and to widen your horizons. The critical analysis of argument and evidence challenges young people to reflect upon their own points of view and understand other people’s perspectives.
