Engaging Institutions & Individuals
The Global Citizenship Alliance promotes education for engaged knowledge and responsible action in an interdependent world.
The Global Citizenship Alliance
The Global Citizenship Alliance—a U.S.-based nonprofit legally recognized in Austria—is a leader in global citizenship education and engagement. It empowers colleges to prepare students for work, life, and citizenship in an interconnected world by holding week-long, immersive, residential seminars at its venue in Salzburg, Austria. The Alliance was founded in 2015 as an independent, non-profit organization, however, the origin of this enterprise dates back to 2004 when this work began under the aegis of the Salzburg Global Seminar, a renowned international policy forum based in Salzburg, Austria. Initially a pioneering effort to promote a critical engagement with the effects of rapid globalization as they relate to the aims and purpose of college education, over time the Alliance has succeeded in running one of the most systematic and inclusive programs on global citizenship education involving predominantly higher education institution from the United States.
We enable colleges and universities to graduate students who:
- are aware of their place in a globalizing world.
- have a sound understanding of the global challenges and issues confronting humanity and the planet.
- are equipped with the knowledge, capacities, and skills to engage with global systems in ways that foster justice, inclusion, human rights, and ethical leadership.
- are motivated and empowered to make a positive difference in their overlapping local, national, and global communities.
