this study uses qualitative research methodology not only to demonstrate the effects of the youth;;s Global Citizenship improvement but also to explain in depth how the developmental process of their Global Citizenship formation turns out.As a result of the analysis, there has been a pattern of the youth’s Global Citizenship development which consists of 6 phases: 1) The youth have a world-friendly attitude of expectation and excitement during preparation for their dispatch to a foreign country. 2) They encounter the fundamental and important facts about the host country so that they are able to build an understanding of its history, culture, and the life of the native people during the early phase of their visit. 3) They realize their national and transnational identities and self-reflect on those. 4) They find the local youth important as ;;their peers’. 5) They experience the local people’s life and are engaged in their civil activities. 6) They reflect on themselves and try to take action as global citizens in the latter period of this program.In the experience of approaching foreigners in a strange land, the youth reflect upon their identity, find their new self through the process of ;;otherization;; and ;;objectification’, and design their own dreams and futures more specifically as global citizens. Most of these future plans include their commitment to take concrete action to improve themselves to communicate more effectively with people in the world, to understand them more deeply, and to contribute to the global civil society as global citizens.
