Youth Empowerment And The Path To Global Citizenship

Dr James Gomez, Regional Director, Asia Centre

Youth Empowerment And The Path To Global Citizenship

On today’s Pressing Matters, Philip See speaks to Dr. James Gomez, Regional Director at Asia Centre as we reflect how national and global citizenry can be embedded within Malaysia’s youth. This issue comes to the fore in view of how our public education has decided to embrace social causes such as the Solidarity with Palestine week. We get James’s perspective and views on whether these efforts really help us reinforce the ideals of what it takes to be a global citizen in our next generation.
