Would you like to know more about Global Education concept, methodologies, and self-learning assessment?
Global Education is a pedagogical approach that privileges a better understanding of world issues and makes the connection between local and global realities, triggering empathy and openness to other cultures, beliefs, worldviews, and practices.
Through a learner centred approach, fostering multiple perspectives and the deconstruction of stereotypes, Global Education inspires critical awareness of global challenges and engagement for sustainable lifestyles.
The North-South Centre of the Council of Europe is pleased to provide a new online self-eLearning course for all to take action towards more fair and sustainable societies and economic patterns.
