Teaching Global Citizenship: What does it mean to be a good person? (featuring D'Arcy Lunn)
In this episode, we’re joined by D'Arcy Lunn, founder of Teaspoons of Change and Group Head of Sustainability and Global Citizenship at Education in Motion.
D'Arcy shares his journey from teaching in remote Aboriginal communities in Australia to leading global citizenship work across an international network of schools. Together, we explore what global citizenship really means (beyond travel, language learning, and buzzwords) and how it shows up in everyday school culture, classrooms, and personal choices.
We talk about:
- Why global citizenship starts with belonging and being a good person
- The power of small, intentional actions (“teaspoons of change”)
- How sustainability, wellbeing, and learning are deeply connected
- Moving from sustainability toward regenerative thinking
- What schools can look for when global citizenship is truly alive, not just written in a mission statement
This conversation is grounding, hopeful, and full of practical wisdom for educators who want to help students (and themselves) feel connected to something bigger...without burning out or trying to be perfect.
