Global Citizenship Education – We are educating youth for the future

Global Citizenship Education @ MSLA

Education that leads beyond the classroom is key if we are serious about educating our youth for the future and inspiring them to become agents of change for a better world.
Having a global perspective helps to raise the aspirations of our youth.
The whole idea behind global awareness is …

to create global citizens!

MSLA launched its very own GCED programme in 2021, with 20 Grade 11 learners signing up for the challenge.

OUR PROJECT

The Problem

Very high dropout rate of 1st year university students in South Africa.

The Cause

Lack of career guidance at schools.

Our solution ... Kids teaching Kids

Career Guidance Outreach Programme

“Welcome to our 4-hour workshop, Guys!”

What the kids had to say

I was teaching which means I was learning more. Sharing my knowledge has been a great experience for me. I want to be the change I want to see in this world. The special part is that I now know where I am heading and my schoolmates do, too.

I discovered what I qualify to study for at university. I feel much more confident about achieving my goals and matching my potential with my dreams and aspirations.

I was given an opportunity to help others, and the immense feeling of joy that I received from this was one of the best experiences of my life thus far.

This workshop has made me more realistic, make goals that I can reach and not have dreams that are too far-fetched that I won't be able to achieve.

The programme was mind-blowing and inspirational. It was “wow” to see my fellow classmates and peers pull off this amazing workshop, and how they managed to help us with our career choices and they did it better than anyone else could because they are our peers.
