Are you a Global Citizen?

Author: liz

What does being a global citizen mean to you? Take our quick survey and help us find out.

There are only 4 questions so it’s really quick.

We’re doing this because we want to find out more about you so that we can make PocketCultures more relevant in future. So thanks for your help!

Survey closes on 30th June and we will post a summary of the results in early July.

I was wondering if people had a common understanding of what the *minimum* requirement to be called a ‘global citizen’ was?

The edges of the definition are likely gray areas…

Well, that’s the main thing I’m trying to find out actually. I’m also interested to know if it has different meanings in different parts of the world. Hopefully we’ll get some good responses and find out…

I’m going to be posting more on this topic in the next few weeks and I hope we can work towards a more common understanding. It will be good to know your thoughts.

Can’t wait to find out what responses you get. I love asking my students this question.

I’d like to hear how the results compare with the answers you get from your students, too.

Most of the responses so far are from Americans (although many of them live outside the USA); I hope we will be able to get more international responses as well to compare.

Hey, it’s June 2nd. Am I or am I not a global citizen? The suspense is killing me.

Well, as we say in Chinese, “???”.

Results are coming on Monday, can you wait that long?
