‘We do what we can anyway.’
What we do in this country has an impact on the lives of people in other parts of the world. This is the central idea behind the concept of global citizenship. Hans Karl Peterlini has held the UNESCO Chair in Global Citizenship Education since 2020 and is committed to bringing about change, both on the individual and the collective level, to achieve a ‘good life for all’. This chair has just been awarded to him and the University of Klagenfurt for another four years. In this interview, held prior to the public UNESCO Chair Meeting, hosted in the Stiftungssaal by the working group on the 10th of June 2025 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon, he talks about his experiences to date.
