Global Education Manual

Aims of the tool

This publication is intended to represent a tool for global citizens and global educators in their work with various groups around the world. The ultimate goal is to contribute to building a critical mass of global citizens needed in the world. The reader can find inside insights about the context of global education, the need for global citizens, more details about what is a global citizen is, methodological guidelines for a global educator and a detailed curriculum for developing basic global citizenship competencies.

Description of the tool

You can download it from here:

In order to clarify what you can find or not in this manual, depending as well on how new or not you are to the field we made the following specifications:
– If you are a person that is totally new to the field of global education and global citizenship, we consider that the first chapters (till the curriculum part) are more relevant for you because they include details about background, concepts, reasons, motivation and examples of behaviours of global citizens. We hope it will motivate you at least to read and explore further and to work on yourself as a global citizen.
– If you are a beginner in the field, in the sense you know some things, you are concerned about some topics, already implementing some changes in your life and trying to work step by step with yourself as a global citizen (whether you call it that or not) – The first chapters will help you better structure and connect the things you already know and maybe give some additional insights and depth. If you are also interested in becoming a global educator the second part of the manual definitely will be of help
– If you are a beginner global educator, a responsible and active global citizen that has already started (or considering) to deliver some workshops on these topics to various groups but still is at the beginning, then the first part of the manual will give you structure and help you talk about these things more easily and the second part will provide you with alternatives for your workshops and support you methodologically.
– If you are an experienced global educator and looking for a handy tool where to find in one place almost all that you need to train new global citizens (if you agree with our terminology and approach in the field) this manual represents that and will help you a lot.
– If you are super experienced and you are looking for something that will revolutionise all that you know, mind blowing and unique activities or for something to train advanced global citizens, or to train global educators this is not the tool for you but it can give you some fresh ideas or inspiration (but we do not promise that).

Manuel All Together Against Climate Change (ATACC) – En anglais

To educate youths on how to use media campaigning to fight climate change

With the project ‘All Together Against Climate Change’ (ATACC) we create a European network of peer educators who receive professional training on media and communication (understanding the impact of media as well as practical tools to develop quality media products) and climate change to transmit to their local youth groups and wider communities. They work with their peers to develop creative media campaigns on the fight against climate change which address young people in their environment and in the form and language best suited to them.

Recueils de brise-glaces et icebreakers

Icebreaker, brise glace, warm up, échauffement, on peut bien les appeler comme on veut mais avant de commencer une séance de travail collaboratif, comme avant une séance de sport, il s’agit de bien s’échauffer, sinon gare au claquage !
Travailler en groupe, ça n’est pas si simple. Chacun doit pouvoir s’exprimer, apporter sa contribution, construire avec les autres dans un climat positif propice à l’échange, tout en laissant de côté ses problèmes personnels pour se concentrer sur l’instant présent.
Globalement, un icebreaker doit permettre d’initier les interactions entre les participants.
