Critical perspective on global issues and sustainable development What does it mean to be a citizen of the 21st century and how can we address this at school?

What does it mean to live in the 21st century where globalization has become one of the major forces determining our everyday living conditions? How can we help children and young adults to understand the significance of global actors and how they are entangled within globality?

In der Übersicht

The module is threefold:

  1. Introduction
    We present characteristics of the 21st century with emphasis on global social processes and present challenges and new approaches to address them. Topics: Anthropocene, great acceleration, world-polity approaches, post-humanism, new materialism;
  2. Post-colonialism
    Voices of the Global South must be listened to. We look at unequal power relations in economics, politics, and science, we critically examine commonly used teaching material and discuss de-colonial practices.
  3. Global citizenship education
    These sessions consider critical service learning and design thinking as pedagogical approaches that respond to the call for a re-imagination of education that is grounded in principles of sustainability, social justice, interdependence, reciprocity, solidarity and care. Influenced by critical global citizenship education and an international education that is embedded in a transformative framework, students will consider and experience collaborative, participative and inquiry-led methods for teaching and learning that bring global issues into the classroom in a tangible, manageable and meaningful way.
