Implementation of SDG-Based Global Citizenship Education in Inclusive Learning

Abstract

This article addresses the urgency of strengthening Global Citizenship Education (GCE) aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to foster inclusive learning practices among marginalized students. The program aimed to integrate SDGs-based GCE principles into community learning activities to promote critical awareness, tolerance, and global responsibility. A participatory action approach was employed involving mentoring sessions, collaborative discussions, project-based learning, and reflective activities. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and participant feedback during the implementation stages. The results indicate increased student engagement, improved understanding of global issues, strengthened intercultural awareness, and enhanced collaborative skills. Learners demonstrated greater sensitivity toward diversity, social justice, and environmental sustainability themes embedded in SDGs values. The implementation also encouraged facilitators to adopt more inclusive and student-centered strategies. These findings highlight that integrating SDGs within GCE frameworks can meaningfully enrich inclusive learning environments in non-formal education settings. The program contributes to advancing inclusive education practices by contextualizing global values into local learning experiences while supporting the development of responsible and socially aware global citizens.
