Would you like to know more about the concept of Global Education and its methodologies?

The North-South Centre of the Council of Europe is pleased to announce a new online self-eLearning course for all!

Global Education is a pedagogical approach which privileges a better understanding of world issues and makes the connections between local and global realities. Through a learner centred approach, fostering multiple perspectives and the deconstruction of stereotypes, triggering empathy and openness to other cultures, beliefs, worldviews, and practices, global education inspires critical awareness of global challenges. It invites for more engagement for sustainable lifestyles and to take action towards fairer societies and sustainable economic patterns.

This course offers presentations, interactive information, videos, podcasts, reflective exercises and self-learning assessment tools divided into four thematic modules providing the knowledge and competences needed to best implement Global Education and inspire people to become active agents of global change!

Module 1 - Initial introduction to Global Education in meaning and value.

Module 2 - Global Education in Practice.

Module 3 - The Reference Framework of Competences for Democratic Culture.

Module 4 - Learning through Global Education in different contexts.

Each module is estimated to be completed in 60 minutes. The finalisation of the four modules offers a certificate delivered by the Council of Europe.

With thirty years of experience in the Global Education sector, and in constant collaboration with policy makers, educators and NGOs, the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe offers pedagogical support to formal and non-formal educators and works to develop policies integrating better Global Education competences in school curricula and other educational settings outside of schools.

This project is supported by Ilegend: a Joint programme of the European Union and the Council of Europe: co-funded by the European Union in the Framework of DEAR Programme and the Council of Europe.
