Empathy to Impact: Student Voices on Global Citizenship Education & Community Engagement

Inspire Citizens inspirecitizens.org
Empathy to Impact is a podcast designed for educators dedicated to global citizenship education. We explore themes of sustainability, service learning, student leadership, and community engagement, empowering students to create a more just, equitable, and sustainable future. While educators grasp the “why” and “what” of global citizenship, this podcast delves into the “how”. Through engaging storytelling and student voices, we provide authentic connections to curriculum, and showcase practical tools and frameworks that you can implement in your classroom. By viewing learning experiences through the lens of Empathy to Impact, we can inspire students to take meaningful steps toward becoming global citizens and transform the culture of education in our schools. Join us as we amplify the voices and stories of students who take ownership of their learning and make a difference in their communities. This podcast is brought to you by Inspire Citizens.
