Global Perspectives
Cambridge IGCSE Global Perspectives provides opportunities for enquiry into, and
reflection on, key global issues from different perspectives: personal, local/national and
global. Cambridge IGCSE Global Perspectives encourages awareness of global problems
and offers a range of opportunities to explore solutions through cooperation and
collaboration. The course is not about getting everybody to think identically; rather it is
a matter of opening minds to the complexity of the world and of human thought, and
encouraging empathy for the diversity of human experience and feeling.
Cambridge IGCSE Global Perspectives candidates will have opportunities to acquire and
apply a range of skills to support them in these challenges, including:
• researching, analysing and evaluating information
• developing and justifying a line of reasoning
• reflecting on processes and outcomes
• communicating information and reasoning
• collaborating to achieve a common outcome.
Candidates explore stimulating topics that have global significance. They learn to
collaborate with others from another culture, community or country. They assess
information critically and explore lines of reasoning. They learn to direct their own
learning and develop an independence of thought. An independence of thought.
