Due to historical and cultural factors, Taiwanese students tend to have a relatively low sensitivity to global citizenship awareness. This study explores Taiwanese elementary school students’ perceptions of global citizenship issues, and how leadership or leadership literacy–based curriculum design can enhance their global citizenship awareness. The research adopts a quasi-experimental and qualitative case study approach (including focus groups and interviews). By comparing students who participated in leadership and global citizenship courses with those who did not, and by conducting pre-tests and post-tests supplemented with questionnaires, the study examines changes in students’ attitudes and understanding. The findings show that leadership-oriented courses can significantly enhance Taiwanese elementary students’ global citizenship awareness, particularly in terms of attitudes and behavioral intentions. However, improvements in knowledge and concrete actions appear to be more limited, as these aspects need sustained educational efforts and social support.
