Titel 1 Young Citizens of the World (Grundforløb)

Globalisation is now recognised as a key factor influencing the lives of young people. In many Western countries, globalisation has a strong impact at social, economic and cultural levels. These changes are also often linked to the ambiguity about identity and sense of place in the world.  Young people are most directly affected by globalisation and therefore central to current debates on identity. They experience globalisation on an everyday basis through employment patterns, the friendship groups they develop, their usage of the internet and wider cultural influences on their lifestyles.

Inspired by that, all the texts we have chosen for this course are thematically linked to the relationship between identity, culture and place.

The aim of the course is to:
-Meet young people in English-speaking countries around the world
- View yourself as a local as well as a global citizen
- Learn about other people's realities, values and points of view
- Learn more about your own identity
- Learn more about English as both a language and a study subject
