As an undergrad student in the United Kingdom,

I could name a few factors that clearly indicate a more diversified cultural environment. I should firstly emphasise on the political dimension, since it was the laws & regulation policies of this particular state that allowed students from all across the world to study in the United Kingdom, thus broadening their horizons and being able to pursue their dreams. Secondly, it was globalisation itself, since it incentives young folks to travel around and explore new shores. Thirdly, I'd argue that the creation of a public sphere, a forum, where many cultures can meet up and scrutinise and debate, also perhaps thoroughly analyse their culture, compare & contrast it, many prejudices and social stereotypes ( for e.g. ) would surely be removed, thus a more egalitarian approach will be taken. There is no room for
racism, judgments toward people or a person because of gender, social class, age, disability, religion, sexuality, race/ethnicity, language, nationality in a global citizenship. Everyone should be treated equally, something that still needs improvement.
Another relevant indicator would be, the way the international students are encouraged to participate in this public sphere? How do we increase this awareness? How do we convince them, that they have nothing to lose in involving themselves in the social process / activity ? Their voices will be heard and their views acknowledged. Not everyone can express themselves as clearly as the other perhaps? Students need to be enlightened, mainly thorugh education, to know what steps to take in life.

A future friendly school is not an utopian concept, it is through cooperation and mutual understanding that a global citizenship can be achieved. Key factors: trust, initiative & perseverance.
