Maintaining carbon emissions, protecting marine life, and solving poverty problems.
Become a global citizen who creates a sustainable planet with three board games!

We are no longer members of a single country or society, but are ‘global citizens’ living together on Earth.
To become a true global citizen, we must respect the diversity of the international community, passionately commit to social justice, and take responsibility for our own actions.
Now is the time to take a more proactive role in addressing the diverse problems arising around the world, recognizing that international issues are not limited to our own local contexts but also impact us personally.
The "World Citizen Board Game Book" explains the meaning of global citizenship and the necessity of global citizenship education, and presents methods for developing global citizenship skills through three board games on various topics that we should be concerned about, including carbon emissions, marine pollution, and poverty.

A global citizen is someone who understands how the world works politically, economically, socially, culturally, technologically, and environmentally, and who participates in and contributes to communities from their local to global levels.
Global citizens must respect diversity, be passionately committed to social justice, strive to create a sustainable world, and take responsibility for their actions.

Global citizenship education is an education that encourages awareness of the common problems facing humanity, fosters a sense of belonging, solidarity, and responsibility for the global community, and internalizes the values ​​of human rights, social justice, diversity, peace, and sustainable development.

---From Chapter 1, “What is Global Citizenship Education?”

1.
Game Usage Points
It can be used as a motivational tool or learning summary when covering the field of marine pollution in global citizenship education.
Marine pollution is often a topic that students lack empathy for, so it can be used to build empathy.


2.
Adjust game difficulty
The game becomes more difficult if you increase the card layout from 3x3 to 4x4, and if you limit the cards on the floor to only changing them to Marine Life cards instead of changing all the cards to Marine Life cards and Solution cards, the game becomes more difficult.
Additionally, if movement is impossible, you can change two cards at a time, and you can adjust the difficulty in various ways by changing only one card.


3.
Understanding the game rules and precautions
You must be familiar with the card covering rules and follow them.
The covering rules can be confusing, so you can refer to the Ocean Problem Solving Formula Card to proceed.


4.
Educational Use of Game Cards
You can increase the realism and educational effect by exploring real-life or endangered creatures rather than the fictional creatures presented on the marine life cards and creating your own cards or naming the marine life cards.


5.
Activities that connect learning and life
Based on what you learn through the game, you can raise awareness of marine pollution issues and launch campaigns and signature drives to inform people of practical measures and solutions to prevent marine pollution.
You can also connect learning and life by supporting environmental civic groups working to protect marine ecosystems.
