Learning unit contents
Faced with the unequal distribution of wealth in the world, in particular between the North and South, Global education is a process which aims to initiate changes to values and attitudes on the individual and collective level with a view to creating a more just world in which resources and power are equitably distributed and human dignity is respected.
Today, global education is another way of looking at co-operation. From this critical perspective, she shakes the traditional bases of cooperation by shedding new light upon North-South relations, which are no longer characterised by geographical borders but by relationships of force between the rich and the excluded, and which are no longer based upon the principle of aid, but of partnerships and joint responsibility with a view to social change. This does not consist of setting objectives to fight against extreme poverty, but of strengthening the role of the State and civil society to construct another model of living together on a global level.
Content:
- - What education for what development: the evolution of concepts and practices
- - Missions, objectives, pedagogical principles and ways of acting for GE
- - Stakeholders and the institutional framework in Belgium, Europe and on the international level
- - Issues and challenges of GE for world citizenship
- - GE professions
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
- To critically appraise the role and issues around education and lobbying as instruments for social change in North-South relations.
- To identify the different stakeholders involved in GE.
- To design GE mechanisms based on a critical analysis of practice.
