The recent rise in terrorism around the world has caused families, educators, and indeed everyone to consider again how to help young children grow up tolerant, accepting, and, above all, non-violent. Policies that support a tolerant, inclusive curriculum are essential if children are to survive in the years ahead. Curriculum policies must be proactive in order to lessen the problems of conflict, of peoples being intolerant and unable to accept the views of others. Curriculum policies must embrace a global perspective. There is no simple recipe for peaceful globalization; a global, future orientation is something that is built up over time. However, it has to start somewhere, and the early childhood formative years are as good a time as any to inculcate in children a sense of responsibility and an understanding of outcomes as the basis of effective citizenship. The idea of globalization, as with a future-oriented perspective, can be incorporated into an educational program with young children. This article discusses the need for a change in curriculum policies to meet the challenges of global citizenship.
