Kia Mau, Tāmaua te Aka Matua Becoming Global Citizens
"Education is more than literacy and numeracy. It is also about citizenry." UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, 2012
Education for global citiezenship shows us how knowledge, values, attitudes, and behaviours help us to make informed decisions and actively take part in local, national and global communities to build a peaceful and sustainable world. Our whakatauki reminds us that the pathway to his knowledge comes from the parental vine and we must hold fast to this. This year's conference will explore how community education can help us become the best global citizens we can be.
