In 2022, I published a book with the title World-Centred Education: A View for the Present. In the book, a case is made for putting the world in the centre of educational attention. In this paper, I introduce a book symposium which consists of three papers in which the authors reflect on the significance of the idea of world-centred education and develop it further with reference to their own expertise and scholarship.
