Liberal Education and Global Citizenship:
The Arts of Democracy

The first project of the Shared Futures: Global Learning and Social Responsibility, Liberal Education and Global Citizenship: The Arts of Democracy, supported by the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education, is designed to work with colleges and universities to develop societal, civic, and global knowledge in their graduates by linking liberal education and democracy in the context of our interdependent but unequal world. The project's objectives are:

1. To generate new knowledge about global studies,

2. To spur greater civic engagement and social responsibility,

3. To promote in faculty and students a deeper knowledge of, debate about, and practice of democracy, and

4. To cultivate intercultural competencies with the faculty as well as the students.
