Abstract

Global Citizenship Education is an educational research and practice field with increasing international importance. This article discusses Global Citizenship Education as transformative learning, focusing on the terms citizenship, global citizenship and democratic participation. Global Citizenship Education is conceptualized as a globally oriented citizenship education which includes a historical, self-reflective element and integrates also the perspective of post-colonialism. To conclude, the further engagement of Global Citizenship Education in discussing ethical orientations as the cultural dimension of transformation processes is suggested.
