    Korea-Japan Teachers’ Network on GCED Workshop 2024

    APCEIU launched the Korea-Japan Teachers’ Training Workshop on GCED in 2021, targeting 30 teachers from Korea and Japan, offering various sessions to enhance the participants’ GCED competencies as well as to foster global citizenship. Since then, they have engaged in varied activities, including collaborative lesson plan development, online seminars, joint classroom projects and student exchanges.   APCEIU is convinced of the necessity for continuing the Korea-Japan Teachers’ Network on GCED so that the created platform can further reinforce its role and meaning in encouraging the participants to truly understand the values of GCED and putting them in practice. In 2024, a new batch of teachers from the two countries will be invited to join the Network along with the existing members. To reach out to new teachers, APCEIU collaborates with the Japan Association of International Education (JAIE), Okayama University and Sophia University. Korea-Japan Teachers’ Network on GCED provides a training workshop for the participating teachers, which will be followed by the continued learning and interactive activities among the participants such as online seminars and case studies. In particular, teacher-centered learning communities within the Network are strongly encouraged for their mutual learning and interaction. The support for these teachers’ communities aims to provide a space for teachers to learn together, to broaden the perspective on GCED both as a teacher and a global citizen, and to reflect and grow together. Continuing the effort of enhancing mutual understanding among teachers and expanding their GCED practices, the Network aspires to contribute to building a culture of peace between Korea and Japan.

    Climate Justice and GCED

    From  the 60s onwards,   an awareness grew among governments  and citizens globally of an “environmental crisis”  due to a wide range of human activities and problems impacting on the environment.  There is now  universal consensus that “climate change” is one of the most serious and urgent threats facing the survival of humanity. Given GCED’s vision to promote  education and action to build a holistic culture of peace that includes human and planetary “development” based on values, principles and strategies of sustainability, the “climate crisis” is hence an indispensable theme in  GCED programs. This APCEIU online course seeks to initially provide a critical understanding of the causes and consequences of climate change resulting in the climate crisis that disastrously affects the well-being of humanity and our planet.  It also clarifies the alternative paradigms of “sustainable development” that underpins proposed and implemented strategies to address the climate crisis. The role of international policy and administrative institutions  to undertake climate action, such as the Conference of the Parties (COP) to implement the UNFCCC, will be highlighted.  Drawing on critical perspectives and social movements led especially by grassroots civil society organizations , NGOs and communities, the course also seeks catalyze personal and social action for climate justice in GCED.   PRE- or CO-REQUISITE COURSE: GCED101: Introduction to GCED
