Abstract
ABSTRACT To prepare young people for an increasingly interdependent and culturally diverse world, policy makers fund a range of globally orientated educational endeavours. In compulsory school settings, these approaches are known as Global Citizenship Education (GCE). Alongside this, intercultural competence (IC) has proven to be a valuable resource for interacting with diversity. This study investigates a GCE initiative in Aotearoa New Zealand aimed at developing IC in school-aged children, through language and cultural learning. Content analysis of group discussions with students reveals emerging attitudes of openness, curiosity and respect, core components of IC.
