Abstract

In response to the need for teacher training in global citizenship education (GCE), a workshop was designed and led for a group of teacher educators at a large, southeastern university in the United States.  Research-based instructional approaches for teacher training in global education were combined with the Oxfam (2006) GCE framework, drama pedagogy, and the lives of women who have won the Nobel Peace Prize.  The result was a workshop that encouraged teachers to include elements of GCE in their teaching, as well as the belief that the individual can make a difference.
