Pedagogical perspectives on global issues in the 21st century What does it mean to be a citizen of the 21st century and how can we address this topic 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 teenagers to understand the significance of global actors?

Overview

Understanding globalization processes and dealing with global challenges requires reflecting on specific contents and following key principles for teaching and learning.
In this module we will develop key contents and key principles as well as introduce important critical approaches for analysis and development of pedagogical questions (how and what to teach, how and what to learn). 
To answer these questions, we 

  1. explore concepts of global learning and its development in the historical perspective
  2. familiarize with key contents and key principles of Global Learning
  3. examine critical theories such as posthumanism and post-colonialism
  4. introduce alternatives from the so-called Global South perspective
  5. further develop your own competences
