I hope you enjoy the article on Living Global Citizenship. The idea originated from a partnership between my own school in Salisbury, UK and a South African black township school in Durban. The central feature of my PhD was the original notion of Living Citizenship. The idea of Living Global Citizenship was developed through conversations with Jack Whitehead and Steven Coombs now at the University of the South Pacific. We feel that the idea can contribute to debate in several areas including: school partnerships; university partnerships; community partnership; citizenship education; NGO's involved in international development work; government overseas development agencies, UNESCO and the Sustainable Development Goals for 2015.

We would very much like readers of the article to respond with their own ideas of how they see the values of living-global-citizenship and cultural-empathy being lived out in their own lives.
