PROFESSOR THOMAS PATTERSON: ON 2016 GLOBAL CYBERSECURITY DAY
The document outlines plans for the Global Citizenship Education Network (GCEN), a partnership between UNESCO, UCLA, and the Boston Global Forum. The GCEN will develop and administer a Global Citizen Scorecard to measure global citizenship qualities and grant admission to the GCEN. The network aims to educate and activate members through educational materials, webinars, and opportunities to get involved in global issues. It will use a tiered membership system to recognize achievement and provide additional benefits to members. The GCEN is scheduled to officially launch in September 2017.
