Rebooting International Cooperation

Link: https://globaldimension.org.uk/resources/december-activity-rebooting-international-cooperation/

Alongside our 2021/22 Global Learning Wall Planner - 10 Ways to Reboot the Future - we’re releasing a series of monthly classroom resources.

Each of our class activity resources explores a different focus for creating a more sustainable and compassionate future, based on the 10 Big Shifts in Jonathon Porritt’s Rise Up to Reboot the Future.

The activities are adaptable for all age ranges and can be used as standalone activities for tutor group sessions or can slot into a lesson.

Rebooting International Cooperation

This month’s class activity explores December's theme of International Cooperation. Learners explore the concept of the Tragedy of the Commons through a game where resources are replenished as they are used up. Participants have to find a way to cooperate so that the resources don't run out.

New this year: monthly challenges

Every month we will be setting a series of challenges – complete one or more of the challenges as a whole class, or choose 2 or 3 pupils to complete one each month over the course of the year.

To win a bundle of books for your class – all linked to this month’s theme - simply post a photo of your class’s completed challenge on social media before the end of September 2021, and tag @globaldimension for the chance to win.

Rise Up to Reboot the Future e-book

Rise Up to Reboot the Future - an e-book by Jonathon Porritt

Rise Up to Reboot the Future tells the story of the next five years, with a particular focus on the Climate Emergency, and how young people can play a role in transforming the world into a fairer and more sustainable place.

Jonathon Porritt describes it as: “A just about plausible imagining of how the world finally gets to grips with the Climate Emergency by 2025 – largely thanks to the courage and creativity of young people”.

Companion Guide

The accompanying companion guide is designed to support groups reading Rise Up to Reboot the Future. It can also be a useful companion for solo readers who want to dive deeper into the topics and themes that emerge.

Part of the "How Will You Reboot the Future?" Campaign

This e-book and companion guide are designed to help teachers begin to introduce conversations about climate action into the classroom in a way that is positive, empowering, and adaptable to suit the needs of individual teachers and students as they navigate the transition back to school.

They sit alongside a series of 5 short films, each with an accompanying teaching guide. These resources flexibly slot into tutor group sessions or any gaps in the timetable, allowing teachers to spark conversations with their students and find space in the day to stop and consider how our actions now can make a real difference in the future.

These materials are also suitable outside of classroom contexts, including youthwork, uniformed groups, Duke of Edinburgh, Youth Parliament meetings, Student council/ Pupil council meetings and more.

Global Citizenship Course

Modules

Module 1 ~ Getting Curious: Beginning to Question

When Isidore Isaac Rabi, winner of Nobel Prize in Physics was asked why he became a scientist, he replied, “My mother made me a scientist without ever knowing it. Every other child would come back from school and be asked, ‘What did you learn today?’ But my mother used to say, ‘Izzy, did you ask a good question today?’

In this module you will begin to inquire, ask questions and explore the power of inquiry.

Module 2 ~ Displacing homes: Movement and Separation

Albert Einstein once said, "Nothing happens, until something moves"

Shifting base, moving homes, separating from friends and loved ones can be hard, but it may be a precursor to a better life, a better promise!

In this module, you will inquire what movement is, what does it entail and how it may feel like.

Module 3 ~ Co-creating Governance: Active Citizens

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." - Mahatma Gandhi

Everyone wants a better life and most see it through a better governance.

But, what is a better governance? Can we define it?

In this module, you will inquire for a near to perfect recipe for a successful governance.

Module 4 ~ Blurring Boundaries: Citizens of the World

"You have to take ownership of tomorrow. For that to be possible, you have to strengthen your capacity and widen your vision as a global citizen." Ban Ki-moon, 8th General Secretary of United Nations

In this module, you inquire what it is to be 'a global citizen' and the need for it. You look at stories from the world to broaden your horizon of the constraints that people encounter.

Module 5 ~ Discovering Myself: Who am I?

"Identity is the incredible, invisible force that controls your whole life. It's invisible, like gravity is invisible, but it controls your whole life." Tony Robins

Who are you? Why are you the way you are? Are you really who you are?

In this module, you will study human behaviour. You will understand what governs humans and inquire into who you are and what has shaped you.

Module 6 ~ De-rooting Violence

In this module, you will understand the essential elements of a violent act and identify them in different scenarios. We will explore the types of violence, nature of violence, causes of violence and triggers of violence.

Global Citizenship Education: Topics and learning objectives

Source: https://en.unesco.org/news/global-citizenship-education-topics-and-learning-objectives

UNESCO has just launched its new publication on Global Citizenship Education (GCED) titled Global Citizenship Education: Topics and Learning Objectives. This is the first pedagogical guidance on GCED produced by UNESCO in an effort to help Member States integrate GCED in their education systems, formal and non-formal.

The guidance, presented during the World Education Forum 2015, suggests ways of translating GCED concepts into age-specific topics and learning objectives based on the three domains of learning – cognitive, socio-emotional and behavioural. It also presents examples of existing practices and implementation approaches in various countries. This pedagogical guidance can be adapted and implemented in an easy and flexible manner in any given context. It will be particularly useful for educators, curriculum developers, trainers as well as policy-makers but also other education stakeholders working in non-formal and informal settings.

The guidance was developed in consultation with experts on GCED from different parts of the world and it was field tested in selected Member States and various stakeholders including teachers, learners and ministry officials in all regions to ensure that the content is relevant and appropriate in various geographical and cultural contexts.

This publication was produced with technical and financial support from the Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU), a UNESCO Category 2 Centre.

The publication in English is available here .
