This comprehensive volume delves into the transformative power of online technologies and collaborative and blended learning in fostering social cohesion and enhancing students' understanding of global citizenship. As technology continues to advance at an unprecedented pace, Blended and Online Learning for Global Citizenship emerges as a timely exploration of the global lessons learned from the impact of these technologies on peace building, community development, and acceptance of difference.

In-depth case studies, showcasing successful projects in Europe, Northern Ireland, and Israel, delve into blended learning and illustrate how schools and educators have embraced online technologies to foster national and international links within and beyond communities. This has resulted in students acquiring experiences that have shaped their attitudes toward cultural and political conflicts, as well as racial, ethnic, and social diversity.

Building upon the authors' previous work, Online Learning and Community Cohesion (2013), this thought-provoking text appeals to researchers, academics, and postgraduate students in the fields of international and comparative education. Educators and school leaders who are concerned with the interplay between multiculturalism and technology in the classroom environment will also find valuable insights in this text.
