CHV2OH – Culminating Activity
“Global Citizenship”
Welcome to the global village. Not only are you a citizen of your municipality,
your province and your country, but you are also a global citizen. Communities,
whether they are families, towns, provinces, nations or even organizations, have
always passed on to the next generation, what it means to be a responsible
community member.
The past few months have involved various aspects of community life, such as
government and your role as a citizen. This final assignment will combine various
aspects of the course and will involve 15% of your final grade.
