Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Global Education (GE) has grown significantly in many regions and countries in recent years.
The lecture deals with the historical roots, current debates and future perspectives of Global Education in Austria, in Europe (and beyond). The core isues are conceptional questions and areas of tensions in the field of Global Education.

Basic matters of concern are:
GE as a concept in formal, non-formal and informal education
GE as a pedagogical concept how to perceive and tackle global issues
GEL as part of a vision of a sustainable global policy (SDGs)

The lecture also refers to GE in cross-conjunction with other educational concepts like Intercultural Learning, Global Citizenship Education or Education for Sustainable Development.
A special focus is put on the thematic issues: Human Rights and Democracy, Social Justice, Culturalism and their integration in processes of learning.

The core target is to critically analyse, reflect and understand GE as an inter- and cross-transdisciplinary approach when studying international development.

The following issues will be dealt with in detail:
- analysis and debate of the theory and practice of GE
- survey of national and international roots, experiences, discourses, challenges and perspectives of GE
- analysis of approaches of key stakeholders and sectors across Europe (governments/ public institutions, local authorities, CSOs, academia, private sector)
- analysis of national and international GE strategies and structures
- contextual transfer to and from the more general discourse on education as such
(role of education as a response to global challenges).

Core methods are:
study and debate of current literature (monographies, journals, articles)
exercises to experience particpatory and interactive GE methodologies
exemplary research into the practice of GE
