T he nature of this paper is to study and reflect upon the Global Citizenship Education (GCE) proposed by UNESCO in the post-2015 Development Agenda led by the United Nations. It is research for the triumverate of an epistemologicaltheoretical-methodological field that seeks to develop a consciousness-identity of “Earth-Homeland”, where human beings are seen as a same biological species with the same evolution, because the future history of humanity requires knowledge evolution towards new transcultural and transhumanist dialectics concepts in order to prevent future war conflicts. Aiming the understanding and the respect of the historic-cultural characteristics of each community, we start from the Cosmodernity paradigm formulated by Nicolescu, the complexity of Morin and the poly-logic of Galeffi, to approach knowledge through a complex, creative, transdisciplinary, polysemous, transcultural, transnational and transpolitical epistemology that promotes GCE as the causal energy principle of the transformation process of the human being and the world-society. As a result, we propose the creation of a Constellation of Twinned NGO-Schools which develop altruistic educational projects of cooperation in all corners of the planet to build, ultimately, a new transdemocratic horizon in the GCE proposed by UNESCO for the twenty-first Century.
