What is the "We are Global Citizens" project?

"We are Global Citizens" is a project that was initiated in Taiwan in 2022, encouraging individuals to learn about important global issues and how they can make a positive impact. With support from APCEIU/UNESCO, the project focuses on teaching Global Citizenship Education (GCED) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through various activities. The goal is to empower individuals to understand their rights, responsibilities, and how they can contribute to making the world a better place by taking actions that help the environment and society.
