The purpose of this study is to present global citizenship education from a Polish perspective.
Analyzing the issue, the first part of this paper presents the development of citizenship education, followed by
the current status of global citizenship education in Polish schools. In the second part of the study I draw
attention to national curricula and other supporting documents published after 1945, to verify whether issues of
global citizenship education in Poland are included in the curricula, and if so, what they highlight. I then argue
that global citizenship education in Poland is based on a framework of world-centered perspectives within a
national context. In this understanding, global citizenship education is aimed at creating citizens who are
members of the world community, without giving up their own national identity. The Polish perspective on
global citizenship education urges pupils to consider global problems as part of the challenges of their own
country, and offers the perception of local and global problems being linked and complementary to each other.
