The North-South Centre of the Council of Europe launches a Tutored Online Training Course on Global Education and Media, to take place from the 18 of April to the 13 of May 2022.

Part of the iLegend II project, the training course aims to provide new skills and competences on Global Education, Media Literacy and Digital Citizen Education.

It targets formal and non-formal young educators, youth multipliers, as well as professionals from communication sector and policymakers to:

reflect on Global Education, its concept, principles, and methodology;

explore the concept of Media Literacy, its link with Global Education and its impact on society;

develop specific competences focused on Media Literacy and Global Education for practitioners;

promote networking among participants involved in global awareness-raising or educational actions.

The conceptual and methodological framework of the course is based on the Global Education Guidelines. Following a non-formal learning approach, working methods will include different kinds of pedagogical supports, activities and exercises adapted to the participants’ needs.

The training course is fully online, hosted on HELP Council of Europe e-learning platform. Two tutors will accompany participants during the 4-week activity. The expected workload is approximately 25 hours in total. The activity programme is structured in 4 modules (one module per week). The training course will be mainly asynchronous: this means that each participant will learn on their own schedule and pace, completing activities and exercises.

30 participants, preferably between 18 and 30-year-olds will be selected for this activity. The training course is open to citizens of the 47 Council of Europe Member States. However, a quota of 25 % is available for citizens from other countries.

 Applications for the online training course are open until the 20 of March 2022 (23:59 UTC – Lisbon time), through the online application form.

 For more information on the application and selection processes, please carefully read the call for participants to verify the eligibility criteria.
