The Power of Volunteering in Fostering Global Citizenship Education
Abstract
Recent research tends to point to a connection between volunteering and global citizenship education. Particularly, it has been indicated that volunteering enhances participants' confidence, critical thinking, collaboration, communication skills and competencies, employability, and civil society vibrancy. There are many avenues to link local volunteering to global citizenship. However, although local volunteering has great potential to support the development of knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes for global citizenship, little research has focused on such connection. Employing the semi-structured interview qualitative research method, this chapter presents empirical research findings of volunteering practices among critical stakeholders in primary schools in one of Kenya's counties. To make the discourse more lucid, an introduction to global citizenship, volunteering, and global citizenship education is made. This is followed by a description of the methodology used in the study, presentation and discussion of the results, conclusion, as well as recommendations.
