COE Online Course on Global Education & ICD (Portugal)

Professional OpportunitiesOnline course on Global Citizenship Education and Intercultural/Interfaith Dialogue, 7 October-3 November 2024. Deadline: 22 September 2024.

Part of the iLEGEND III project, the training course aims at providing participants with new skills and competences on Global Education, Intercultural/Interfaith Dialogue and Human Rights. It targets education practitioners in the formal and non-formal sector, media professionals and members of Civil Society Organisations and Faith-Based Organisations to:

  • reflect on Global Education, its concept, principles, and methodology;

  • analyse relevant notions related to Intercultural/Interfaith Dialogue, such as culture, discrimination, racism, majority/minority, inclusion/exclusion, etc;

  • develop specific competences focused on defusing and recognising potential conflicts, and actively promoting a culture of peace and non-violence;

  • promote networking among participants involved in global awareness-raising or educational actions.

The conceptual and methodological framework of the course is based on the Global Education Guidelines, systematised by the North-South Centre. Through a non-formal learning approach, collaborative and interactive activities and exercises allow participants to contribute to their own learning process.

The training course is fully online, hosted on HELP CoE e-learning platform. Two tutors will accompany participants during the 4-week activity. The expected workload is approximately 25 hours in total. The activity programme is structured in 4 modules (one module per week). The training course will be mainly asynchronous: this means that each participant will learn on their own schedule and pace, completing activities and exercises. At the end of the training, participants will obtain a certificate of participation.

40 participants will be selected for this activity, preferably between 18 and 30 years old, and coming from one of the North-South Centre member state, a Southern neighborhood or Sub-Saharan Africa country or a Council of Europe member state. However, a quota is available for citizens from other countries. The course will take place in English.
