Welcome to use the Handbook for Global Educationalists. The Handbook highlights practitioners’ point of view and is developed for the use of teachers and school leaders, and other educational professionals.
The Handbook brings together the themes of Global Education and Learning (GEL), Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and different approaches to GEL and the SDGs in practise within and beyond schools. We discuss Whole-school approach, Participatory Education and Co-teaching, Pedagogical Leadership, and School Ecosystems.
The Handbook has been developed within an Erasmus+ funded Global Learning for Sense of Belonging -project. GloBe (2020-2023) was implemented by Civil Society Organisations and Higher Education Institutions from Finland, Portugal and Romania. At the heart of the GloBe was a five step -pedagogical process into which 20 schools and 56 practitioners, ‘global educationalists’, participated. GloBe received Global Education 2020/21 Award by the Global Education Network Europe (GENE).
You may use the Handbook for Global Educationalists in various ways. You may use it as a self-study material to know ‘the basics’ and/or ‘a bit more’ about the main themes. Alternatively, you may use the Handbook with your colleagues, who might not know that much (yet) about GEL and/or SDGs, and with whom you need to build a common understanding about how your school community could do participatory global education in practise. This need came up from our GloBe-teachers and we wish we have been able to respond to that.
Hopefully the Handbook for Global Educationalist will be of use to
increase knowledge,
develop thinking,
boost ideas,
and inspire brave engagement!
