Ep.17: Identity: What Children Learn Without Us Noticing

In this episode of The Everyday Global Citizen Podcast, I explore how children develop a sense of identity - often through the small, everyday messages they receive without us even noticing.

In the episode, I also share five simple tips for supporting children’s identity development in a more conscious and everyday way.  A thoughtful episode for parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone interested in raising children who feel secure in who they are - and able to meet others with openness, respect, and curiosity Click 👉🏽[here [https://www.nawarsayyad.no/newsletter-sign-up]] to sign up for my newsletter and👉🏽 [here [https://www.nawarsayyad.no/english-landing-page-lead-Raise-Global-citizens]] to download your free pdf-guide about raising kind, resilient and globally-minded children.

Ep.14: Belonging, Identity and Global Citizenship

In this episode of The Everyday Global Citizen Podcast, I explore belonging and identity through my lived experience of growing up cross-cultural in Norway. What does it mean to feel at home in a place — and what happens when that belonging is subtly questioned? I then connect identity and belonging to global citizenship — not as an abstract ideal, but as a practice of widening the circle of who counts as “us.”   If you’ve ever reflected on where you belong, how your identity has evolved, or what it means to live as a global citizen, this episode is for you.   If you are cross-cultural yourself and navigating multiple cultural worlds, I’ve created a free PDF guide with my five best tips to help you bridge your different cultural identities into a more integrated sense of self. 👉🏽[Click here to get the guide [https://www.nawarsayyad.no/5-tips-to-cultural-bridging]]

Ep.13: Refusing the Comfort of Indifference

What does global citizenship look like when it’s not loud, performative, or abstract — but lived quietly, in everyday life? In this opening episode of a new ten-part master series, I reflect on what happens when global events interrupt the ordinary and begin to feel personal. Drawing on lived experience, professional practice, and a guided reflection, this episode explores global citizenship not as an identity, but as an ongoing practice of attention, care, and responsibility. This is an invitation to slow down, stay with discomfort, and reflect on where — and how — we are being asked to care, even when it isn’t easy. Please consider following my podcast :)
