Skills for a Globalised World Holly Fung
Globalisation may sound complicated, but we actually experience it every day. Globalisation involves increased movement and exchange all around the world. This movement and exchange includes goods, services, and of course people and culture. Thanks to technology, we are also able to interact and communicate with people and places all around the world too.

In a world that is so connected, it is important to think about our role as citizens. Global citizenship refers to awareness of and care for the world around us. Global citizens have the knowledge, skills and values needed to engage with the world. They are responsible and do their best to make the world a better place.

What skills do we need in a global world? In an interconnected world, we need to be able to communicate well. Here are some ways to improve our communication skills to be better global citizens.
1. Languages If you’re reading this, then you already have a good understanding of English. But remember that knowing a language doesn’t mean you’re able to use it effectively. When we speak and write in English, we need to be able to use the correct tone and language for specific situations. It is also a good idea to learn other widely spoken languages, such as Spanish and Hindi. This deepens our knowledge about different cultures and improves our ability to communicate with people all over the world.
Learn to speak like a global citizen with our Global Speaking Passport course. Our Love to Write course provides excellent writing training in different genres. i-Learner also provides Latin, Spanish and German classes to boost cultural awareness and communication skills.
