Do you want to deepen your understanding of global citizenship and global competence? Do you want to create a culture of global citizenship in your context? Do you want to enhance your ability to embed strategies that foster global competence in your curricula and pedagogies? Do you want to build the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes you and your students need to effectively engage in a globalised world? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this micro-credential, Educating for global citizenship and global competence, is for you. Developed in collaboration with the Global Learning Centre, it provides flexible, online professional learning that deepens understanding of the role of global citizenship in promoting social cohesion, as well as providing practical and proven strategies you can implement in your school, centre, classroom, or any educational context.
This micro-credential is designed to foster the global competence of educators and develop their understanding of the role of education for global citizenship/global competence in promoting social cohesion and fostering the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes students need to effectively engage in a globalised world. The micro-credential consists of four modules containing readings, videos and activities that enable reflection and the application of theory to practice.
The modules are shaped by four questions:
- Why do we need education for global citizenship/global competence?
- What do we mean by education for global citizenship/global competence?
- How can educational leaders create the conditions necessary to foster a culture of global citizenship in their context?
- What signature strategies are available to educators who wish to effectively educate for global citizenship/global competence?
This is a non-creditable micro-credential which is awarded a digital badge and Certificate of Completion which can be shared to your social networks and displayed in your professional portfolio.
