         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.
