6 Of Our Top Ways To Become a Global Citizen
Living in a globalized world means connecting to different countries, cultures, and beliefs. It also means recognizing the power of diversity and celebrating it for what makes us unique.
Becoming a global citizen is about understanding how interconnected we are and learning how to work together on significant issues. How do you become a global citizen? :
Here are 6 of our top ways to help you become a global citizen:
Recognize The Global Citizen Within You
The first step in living your life as a global citizen is recognizing the global citizen within you. In other words, identify the global part of who you are.
Today, our lives are globalized, whether we want them to be or not. The Internet has impacted the global economy, making the world a much smaller place than ever before.
What happens in one part of the world can affect another part. I believe this is something that we all learn from the global pandemic. It was a pandemic that globally affected everyone.
One of our first steps to becoming global citizens is discovering the international part of who we are. Whether through the love of the world, art, history, music, food, or travel, we all have a part of the global within us.
As a global citizen, identify and look at those things that make you a global citizen or the global part of who you are.

Expand Your Global Community
There are so many ways you can expand your global community. Today, there are many ways that people, communities, and countries are connected. We can reach across international borders through the Internet and engage in other countries as never before.
It doesn’t mean you need to give up on your community or country, but you can have another global or world community. You can find ways to celebrate the connections within this newly found international community.
Discover The Value Of A Global Community
You can learn and discover a lot through your global community. Every community needs to have values, and the international community is no exception to this rule.
I have lived in Asia for many years; Asians have taught me the need to look at the requirements for the entire society. In Asia, people wear a mask not because they want to wear one but they feel like it is the right thing to do to protect the person next to them.
I have learned many essential values from my Asian community, which have become part of my values. One of the great things about a global community is that we can all learn values from other communities worldwide. We can then take our good values and make them a part of our lives.
When we take upon the good values of another society, it will help us to become better human beings.
Become Globally Aware
We can all choose to become globally aware and be able to learn about other parts of the world. It does not mean that you have to travel to those parts of the world but instead to strive to learn about the world and become globally aware.
I enjoy history. Learning about the history of another part of the world opens up a new understanding. I have discovered many things about other parts of the world by learning and discovering the history of that part of the world.
Whether your thing is history, art, music, culture, or food, you can strive to learn about another part of the world and become globally aware.
Find Like-Minded Global Citizens
Find like-minded global citizens, organizations, communities, and people. Then start to engage with these organizations or groups.

Be An Advocate Of Positive Global Change
Today’s world can be filled with many misunderstandings or individuals not understanding what the world is about. One by one, or person by person, you can start to change this by becoming an advocate for positive global change.
I remember once sitting on an airplane beside a Muslim man. I have not met many Muslims in my life, but I sat down, spoke with him, and talked about his life and beliefs. The conversations changed my views about him and his religion.
To be a positive advocate for global change is about building a bridge of understanding between different international communities, cultures, and people.
