After a thorough overview of the Italian educational scenario on GCE, this article aims to present a learning unit on GCE related issues implemented in an Italian 8th-grade class. The study then highlights the educational implications in translating GCE international models into the Italian classroom practice. Its main assumptions focus on the key elements for students’ effective learning and on the limitations that characterise the Italian educational system in relation to GCE at the curriculum, school and teaching levels. The implications highlighted in this article are strongly intertwined with the need to plan and implement GCE jointly, within a whole-school approach, and the relevance of the modalities in which GCE instructional contents are selected and presented.  \nKeywords: global citizenship education, Italy, learning unit, globalisation  \n1 Roma Tre University, Italy; valeria.damiani@uniroma3.it.  \nUvajanje globalnega državljanskega izobraževanja vprakso: raziskava z italijanskimi osmošolci  \nValeria Damiani  \n• Implementacija globalnega državljanskega izobraževanja (GDI) predstavlja izzive za šolski sistem v Italiji v smislu kurikularneganačrtovanja, metod poučevanja in vsebin. Po temeljitem pregledu italijanskih izobraževalnih scenarijev na temo GDI ima ta prispevek namen predstaviti učno enoto o temah, povezanih z GDI, ki bi jih lahko implementirali v italijanski osmi razred osnovne šole. Študija poudarjaizobraževalne implikacije pri prevajanju mednarodnega modela GDI vitalijansko šolsko prakso. Njene glavne predpostavke se osredinjajo naključne elemente za uspešno učenčevo učenje in omejitve, ki so značilneza italijanski izobraževalni sistem v odnosu do GDI na kurikularnih,šolskih in na poučevalnih ravneh. Implikacije, ki so poudarjene v temprispevku, so močno prepletene s potrebo po skupnem načrtovanju in implementaciji GDI znotraj vsešolskega pristopa in relevantnosti modalitet, znotraj katerih so izbrane in predstavljene vsebine GDI.  \nKljučne besede: globalno državljansko izobraževanje, Italija, učna enota, globalizacija  \nIntroduction  \nThe promotion of global citizenship education (GCE) has become an objective of educational systems in various parts of the world, emphasising how globalisation has raised the idea of citizenship from a national to a global level and has challenged teaching and learning in terms of global understanding and citizens’ roles (Myers, 2016; Osler & Starkey, 2006) .  \nIn Italy, debate and research on GCE remain at their beginnings. The implementation of GCE, in accordance with the global discourse on the issue, represents a challenge for the Italian school system in terms of both teaching methodologies and curriculum planning. In this view, GCE is closely connected with the larger research field, which receives the most attention at the national level, specifically how best to develop students’ key competences (MIUR, 2015; Recommendation of the European Parliament and of the Council, 2006) .  \nWhile the academic debate has recently started to focus on the topic, thereis an absence of research examining how global citizenship education can be introduced into the classroom practice, taking into consideration the studies developed at the international level and the characteristics of the Italian school system.  \nThis qualitative study addresses this gap by presenting a learning unit on GCE-related issues implemented in an Italian 8th grade class. In the absence of national curricula or guidelines, theoretical assumptions, proposed educational methodologies and instruction contents are drawn from sources found in the international debate on the topic.
