International Network of Universities is launching a new online programme in 2024 which addresses a range of areas relating to Global Citizenship and the United Nations SDGs, open to all INU member students.

This 12-month online programme explores what it means to be a global citizen through learning and reflecting on a range of key global issues.

The programme is collaborative in both design and delivery. Students will learn in cooperation with their foreign peers from different INU-members across the world and interact in dynamic multicultural environment.

The learning objectives for students undertaking the programme are:

  • To gain knowledge and an understanding of current affairs, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, global issues, and trends, whilst appreciating the complexity and ever-changing nature of these topics.
  • To be able to analyse and interpret information about own and other cultures and demonstrate a clear understanding of the complexity of elements important to members of one culture concerning its history, values, politics, communication styles, economy, or beliefs and practices.
  • To foster civic-mindedness and a sense of societal responsibility, promoting actions and activities that are motivated by or that show concern for the public good and the humanity as a whole and behaviour that is in the best interests of the environment and society.
  • Develop an understanding of and commitment to democratic principles and those of human dignity and respect, while recognising the diversity of experiences and global inequalities with regards to access to these rights and begin to suggest actions to improve this.

Structure and duration: the online programme consists of 3 core sessions and 3 elective sessions selected by a participant out of 6 suggested options and is expected for 12 months.
