About the Course

The course, Global Citizenship and Cultural Diversity is targeted at practitioners in the field of education and development, social and youth workers, as well as policy-makers and civil servants. The goal of the course is to further broaden their perspectives on the topic, sharpen their knowledge and skills, as well as to strengthen their capacity to carry out what they’ve learned in their contexts.

 

This course provides participants with a critical understanding of the relation between Cultural Diversity and Intercultural Understanding in a globalized world. The first module looks at Cultural diversity in a globalizing world within the context of Global Citizenship and Global Education. The second module of this course discusses the different elements of Global Citizenship through explaining the different elements and instruments of Global Education. The third module reflects on intercultural learning competences and the intercultural dialogue in the public political discourse. The fourth and last module of this course focuses on the practical use of Intercultural Global Education in terms of political and social action. It also explores the key dimensions of the Sustainable Development Goals.

 

Next to getting acquainted to various theories and instruments, participants will, through assignments, work on their own strategy development plan which they can use after the course in their own context.

    though I have a sort of background in mind about the content, however, all the course contents here that I have read really help me a lot to create a more meaningful understanding of global citizenship education, intercultural education and culture.

    Most are appreciated and useful, but GCED in a globalized world impressed me with the speech by Simon Anholt.

    I appreciate the three core conceptual dimensions of GCED-cognitive, socio-emotional and behavioural. I think learning is not complete if these 3 dimensions are not infused in any lesson.
