Background

International Conference

Friday, 6 December, 2024 - 14:00

Major event at University of Bologna focuses on Training Teacher for Global Citizenship Education.

This international conference, organised by the UNESCO Chair in Global Citizenship Education (GCE) in Higher Education, aims to promote a dialogue on teacher education in Global Citizenship Education. This educational approach, strongly supported by the United Nations, seeks to prepare citizens to live in an increasingly interconnected world and to promote action to make it more just, inclusive, peaceful and sustainable.

  • But how is GCE conceptualized in national and international teacher education?
  • What is its place in today’s curriculum?
  • Which pedagogy is needed to implement it?
  • How can a transversal and interdisciplinary approach be promoted?

The conference will provide an opportunity to explore these questions in depth through a discussion with international academics.
The workshop session will also offer practical insights for teachers.

ANGEL has several previous collaborations with teams at the University, and current UNESCO Chair in Global Citizenship Education in Higher Education Massimiliano Tarozzi acts as a Co-Chair of the ANGEL project. 

Participation is free of charge subject to registration by 30 November 2024
