What is it about?
The neologism allosyncracy, denotes the practices involved in bringing global citizenship education to life in the classroom. The term, as distinct from idiosyncrasy, highlights the unique mode of behaviour and temperament deployed while interacting with others. Such behaviour, as evidenced by this research, is illustrative of the communicable required of those enacting global citizenship education. This research, because it is developed from practice, will be if interest to practitioners and researchers alike.
