What Is Global Citizenship?

“A global citizen is someone who is aware of and understands the wider world – and their place in it. They take an active role in their community and work with others to make our planet more peaceful, sustainable and fairer” – Oxfam

For it's debut event, TEDxNelson was proud to bring a range of diverse speakers and ideas around the theme of Global Citizenship. 

What is Global Citizenship? How can we become Global Citizens? These are the questions our speakers explored.

Due to Covid-19, the debut event for TEDxNelson was post-poned twice. On the 19th of March, we hosted a virtual event which unearthed local ideas from local speakers.
