Global citizenship. What can/should the school do about it?
The Nation State, as a construction, found in the public school a functional public policy design for its defense and legitimation. Thus, the concept of local citizenship, with anthems, national insignia, a pantheon of founding heroes and a common history, became both a pedagogical goal and a need for social cohesion and integration. The advent of globalization suddenly bursts into the global scene, and breaks with that historical order, in the face of which the school must revise the idea of citizenship. Does such a thing exist as global citizenship? How is it constructed, who promotes it and who benefits from its adequate construction?
