- know how to use methods of GCED appropriate to the target group

- critically deal with economic, social and ecological global challenges (such as the Corona crisis, climate change, global inequality) from an educational perspective 

- have developed and implemented small interdisciplinary educational projects in a heterogeneous group (language, field of study, origin, gender, etc.)

- reflect on their own positioning in global power relations (e.g. "critical whiteness", North-South relations)

- know which experts and institutions they can approach for questions and support in implementing local educational projects on global issues.

The English-language course "Global Citizenship Education in times of crisis? Introduction to the concept of GCED, SDGs and the Inner Development Goals" is aimed at students of all fields of study: The course thrives on the diversity of the group in terms of origin, languages and study background.

The focus of the virtual seminar is on the question of how GCED can accompany learners in the field of education (school and extracurricular education, university, adult education, further education and training in companies) to an increasingly complex world in the face of major global crises. What is necessary from the perspective of GCED (attitudes, competences, values, knowledge) to contribute to global sustainable development and an active global citizenship?

The discussion of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Inner Development Goals (IDGs) supports the learning process of the heterogeneous, interdisciplinary group. In addition to literature work, various methods of co-creation, self-reflection, project work and talks to experts (UNESCO Austria, Südwind, Caritas, Impact Hub Tirol, Klimabündnis etc.) are planned. 

The virtual seminar includes  interactive, process-oriented, interdisciplinary learning opportunities, literature work, innovative methods of co-creation and group work (service design thinking, anti-bias approach, Betzavta), self-reflection, project design and implementation and tasks to experts (e.g. Südwind, UNESCO Austria, Caritas Welthaus).
