978-3-032-03056-6 (ISBN)
This book examines the role of higher education in shaping global citizenship among university students, combining theoretical perspectives with empirical case studies from Latin America. Through contributions from leading scholars, it explores how students perceive their rights, responsibilities, and engagement at local, national, and global levels. This book presents findings from a collaborative research project involving institutions in Chile, Colombia, and Mexico, providing insight into post-pandemic shifts in youth civic participation. It integrates comparative analyses with theoretical discussions on citizenship education, focusing on key variables such as socio-emotional development, community belonging, and active participation. Some chapters focus on real-world data, offering fresh perspectives on student involvement, while others provide a broader academic framework for understanding citizenship in higher education. By bridging practical research with academic discourse, this book serves as both a theoretical reference and a practical resource for educators and policymakers. Offering a nuanced understanding of the evolving nature of citizenship education, it contributes to ongoing discussions on preparing future generations for civic responsibility in an interconnected world.
