Woxsen University, India is set to launch an international program aimed at developing a
holistic growth mindset preparing the future global citizens of the world.
This program shall cover pedagogies of Self, Others, World Well-being, Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs), and Global Cultural Sensitivity to educate toward a stance of
care and concern for others and the planet and in support of sustained action toward
creating a more peaceful, just and sustainable world.
About the Global Citizenship Program:
The Global Citizenship Program is a university certificate program that invites students to cultivate an ethical stance, a critical way of thinking, and a committed mode of intervening in a world populated by others with whom we must co-create a viable future.
It is a structured educational initiative aimed at promoting awareness, understanding, and engagement with the principles of global citizenship. We welcome students from any school or major.
Whether you plan to be an engineer or an artist, head into the start-up world or go on to med school, we believe that a global citizenship orientation can critically inform both your personal life and professional practice. As a group, we will dive into the biggest questions humanity is grappling with:
How do we live with others, respecting difference without abandoning our beliefs or forcing others to assimilate to us? How do we find peaceful ways to disagree? How do we protect our planet and its non-human residents both now and for the future?
