Global Citizenship at BW

In today's interconnected world, the concept of global citizenship has never been more relevant. As you embark on your journey through a political science program, it's crucial to recognize the significance of viewing yourself not just as a citizen of your country, but as a member of a wider, global community. This perspective is not merely academic; it's a profound shift in understanding your place and responsibilities in the world.

Embracing global citizenship fosters empathy and cultural sensitivity. It encourages you to appreciate the richness of cultural diversity and to see the world through the eyes of others. In a political science program, you'll learn that effective diplomacy, international relations, and global policies are built on the foundation of mutual respect and understanding.
