Global Citizenship Education: The Case of Equipo Pueblo's Citizen Diplomacy Program in Mexico
Education, Citizenship and Social Justice, v15 n2 p181-193 Jul 2020
Globalization processes create the need to rethink how citizens participate in complex and interdependent societies. The purpose of this article is to understand how education-related non-governmental organizations in Americas are becoming increasingly transnational in a globalized world through the experience of Mexican non-governmental organization Equipo Pueblo. Following this purpose, I seek to contribute to the study of international education facing non-governmental organizations through activism involved in citizenship education. I argue that non-governmental organizations are potential agents for ordinary citizens to promote non-formal education by participation on global public arenas becoming an important non-formal learning experience beyond schools, which allows those citizens to acquire the necessary skills for effective participation in globalized policy processes. To give empirical evidence to my research, I analyze Equipo Pueblo's Citizen Diplomacy Program and its influence repertoire that enable citizens' participation in public spaces, as example of non-formal citizenship education in the context of global politics.
