The Global Citizenship Programme
ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP
Pa nel Di sc u s sion & Dr i n k s Recept ion
At UCL we study global problems: problems of global
health and intercultural interaction, of how to promote
human well-being, and of how to create sustainable
cities. A Global Citizen is someone who takes
responsibility for these global problems, who engages
actively in the search for solutions, and who tries to
change things. In the absence of a global state with a
global government and global voting rights, one way
to try to change things is through activism.
What does it mean to be an active Global Citizen?
What is activism? What are the challenges that
global activism faces?
