Their site offers mostly research findings and publications, some with an applied-practice stance as with the link below.

And also from UNESCO, the groundbreaking publications that paved the way for our current study:
Learning the Way of Peace: A Teachers’ Guide to Peace Education (2001)

From the high school text book, Canadian Investigations: Civics and Citizenship by Watt/Colyer, 2014 (Oxford University Press), you can find an infographic definition of Global Citizenship that is Germany’s take on implementing the 17 sustainable development goals. It is less than 9 pages long and offers practical incremental solutions. Perhaps students could get some ideas of what approaches Canada could take by comparison.
And finally, the We Day Campaign offers considerable educator resources, including lessons and activities that complement the information we’ve provided here.

The Alberta Council for Global Cooperation, ACIC’s sister organization, offers educational resources for educators interested in global issues like poverty, food security, and health. They also offer youth opportunities to visit member projects in the Global South. Check out their teacher and youth resources here: http://www.acgc.ca/pages.php?pg=1022
The Our Canada Project (OCP) was the brain child of a diverse group of 22 youth from across Canada. These youth were brought together for 48 hours to figure out how to inspire all youth from every area in Canada to be more responsible citizens. The answer: give youth a chance to share their voice and they will take action. And so, the Our Canada Project was born. (from their About page.)
