Globalisation and education - towards a global citizenship 2300-J-MSPP-F2
The course focuses on the global and development education, which enjoys a growing interest in the world and in Poland (in 2009, it has been incorporated into the curriculum). Global education is defined in many ways, for instance as a wider, global dimension of citizenship education, designed to make people aware of global interdependencies and global phenomena.
The course familiarises students with the assumptions, goals, models, and different theoretical approaches in the field of global education, as well as with topics closely related to these issues, such as globalization, development, debates on development, contestation of globalization ant anti-globalisation movements etc. The ideological foundation of global education, its possibilities and limitations will also be discussed.
We will talk about Sustainable Development Goals and selected global problems as well as intercultural competences.
During the classes, workshops methods dominate (group work, discussions, world cafe etc.)

Learning outcomes
By the end of the course, the student will be able to analyse processes of globalization in a multidimensional way (as a political, economic, social, cultural and technological phenomenon), to indicate the various consequences of these phenomena, especially in the context of education, and assess them. The student will know and understand contemporary dilemmas present in the ongoing discourse on globalization, development and development cooperation. The student will also be able to make a critical analysis and synthesis of different models and approaches in the field of global education and understand a need to take social and educational activities in this area. In terms of attitudes, the aim of the course is to enhance the sense of responsibility and citizenship in a global world and a commitment to social change and building a sustainable world.
Assessment criteria
The students are expected to:
- attend class and actively participate in discussions, group work and other educational activities (you may miss two classes for any reason),
- keep up with all the assigned readings and answer short questions before class;
- write 3 short written assignments (ca 800 words) - "reflection papers". Detailed criteria will be provided during the first class.
