Short Session Description (one line): Personality and attributes of a global citizen

Full Session Description (one paragraph minimum): When I went to study for a Master’s in

Education in the UK, I kept hearing “individualism” v/s “collectivism” when educators discussed cultures

from the west and eastern part of the globe. Creating a Global citizen is now a widely used objective in

international education, I would like to explore the personality traits that are deemed desirable in a global

citizen and if there is a “universal” personality that transcends cultural contexts that can define a global

citizen.
