Abstract

The article discusses the importance of teaching history from an intercultural perspective to cultivate global citizenship. It emphasizes the need for education to develop globally-minded individuals who are aware of diversity, historical roots of discrimination, and engage in actions to empower the less privileged. By transforming the teaching of history, school history can influence conversations, interpretations, and dominant narratives to promote inclusivity and respect for diversity. The authors argue that historical literacy, understanding, and consciousness are essential for developing historical empathy, which is a prerequisite for global citizenship.
