What is the U21 Global Citizenship opportunity?
The U21 Global Citizenship Program is a three-week experiential online course designed to help you develop the leadership skills needed to advance your understanding of the most pressing global challenges of our time. Connecting and collaborating with a cohort of students from across U21’s international network, you will design projects that prepare you to be:
Equipped to take rapid action on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs);
Able to step outward and collaborate with diverse networks;
Ready to challenge preconceptions and better inform other people’s perspectives;
Better equipped to operate across hierarchies; and
Better prepared to live and maintain your values and integrity.
Those who complete the three-week program and the final assessment will be awarded a Global Citizenship mico-credential from U21 and Common Purpose. This credential, which can be used on your professional resume, will demonstrate that you have the skills necessary to tackle complex global issues as an internationally educated leader.
Online Program Dates: March 29 - April 16, 2021.
Cost: $0. U21 will cover program costs for UMD participants.
Spaces available: UMD will nominate 75 students to participate in this limited opportunity.
