2nd European congress on global education: education, interdependence and solidarity in a changing world; final report Year of publication: 2012 Corporate author: North-South Centre of the Council of Europe | Global Education Network Europe (GENE) | CONCORD Europe | Portuguese Institute of Cooperation and Language | Portuguese NDGO Platform | University of Lisbon | European Commission The 2nd European Congress on Global Education: Education, Interdependence and Solidarity in a Changing World took place on 27 – 28 September 2012 in Lisbon. It was organised by the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe (NSC) in partnership with Global Education Network Europe (GENE) and CONCORD Europe, in cooperation with the Portuguese Institute of Cooperation and Language - Camões, the Portuguese NDGO Platform and the University of Lisbon and with the financial support of the European Commission. This Congress brought together approximately 200 stakeholders in global education, in particular international organisations, governments, parliamentarians, local and regional authorities, civil society organisations, as well as educators from Europe and beyond, using the principle of “quadrilogue” and a holistic approach to global education. This two-day event built on the efforts of the North-South Centre (NSC) and other stakeholders to promote global education since the Maastricht Congress Declaration (2002) which established a European strategy framework for improving and increasing global education in Europe to the year 2015. Thematic dialogue and exchange of ideas and practices together with a reflection on the political dimension of global education contributed to the formulation of a Lisbon Statement and the revision of the proposed Strategic Recommendations for Strengthening Global Education till 2015. The resume of the thematic dialogues, the Lisbon Statement on Global Education and the Strategic Recommendations represent an integral part of this report. This is also complemented with a short concluding section with follow-up proposals. 2nd European congress on global education: education, interdependence and solidarity in a changing world; final report Year of publication: 2012 Corporate author: North-South Centre of the Council of Europe | Global Education Network Europe (GENE) | CONCORD Europe | Portuguese Institute of Cooperation and Language | Portuguese NDGO Platform | University of Lisbon | European Commission Ce rapport national sur l'éducation globale en Autriche fait partie du processus d'évaluation intra-européenne Éducation Mondiale, qui a été lancé en 2002 dans le but d'augmenter et d'améliorer l'éducation mondiale dans les États membres du Conseil de l'Europe.

Curricular guidelines and citizenship attitudes in Latin American students: a comparative analysis Year of publication: 2015 Author: Martín Bascopé | Macarena Bonhomme | Cristián Cox | Juan Carlos Castillo | Daniel Miranda Corporate author: Revista Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales, Niñez y Juventud Curricular guidelines have become progressively relevant for educating future active citizens. In such a context, it becomes crucial to explore the relationship between the curricular guidelines and how citizenship education is currently acquired by students in Latin American countries. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to comparatively evaluate the institutional view of citizenship expressed in each curriculum and students’ attitudes on civic issues. The exploratory factor analysis and curricular descriptive statistical analysis are based in two valuable and complementary sources, respectively: The Latin American module of the International Civic and Citizenship Study (ICCS) and the Regional System of Citizenship Skills (Sredecc). By making a systematic comparison of both sources, this study reveals that several curricular aspects are consistent with students’ citizenship attitudes and beliefs, and suggests some guidelines for improving and expanding citizenship education in Latin America, considering the importance of education for the formation of an active citizenship. Directives curriculaires et les attitudes de citoyenneté chez les étudiants latino-américains: une analyse comparative Year of publication: 2015 Author: Martín Bascopé | Macarena Bonhomme | Cristián Cox | Juan Carlos Castillo | Daniel Miranda Corporate author: Revista Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales, Niñez y Juventud Les directives curriculaires sont devenues progressivement pertinentes pour la formation des futurs citoyens actifs. Dans un tel contexte, il devient crucial d'explorer la relation entre les directives sur les programmes et la façon dont l'éducation à la citoyenneté est actuellement acquise par les étudiants dans les pays d'Amérique latine. Par conséquent, le but de cet article est d'évaluer comparativement la vision institutionnelle de la citoyenneté exprimée dans chaque programme et les attitudes des élèves sur les questions civiques. L'analyse factorielle exploratoire et l'analyse statistique descriptive scolaires reposent sur deux sources précieuses et complémentaires, respectivement: Le module latino-américain de l'Étude Internationale Civique et la Citoyenneté (EICC) et le Système Régional de la Citoyenneté des Compétences. En faisant une comparaison systématique des deux sources, cette étude révèle que plusieurs aspects scolaires sont compatibles avec les attitudes et les croyances de la citoyenneté des élèves, et suggère quelques lignes directrices pour l'amélioration et l'expansion de l'éducation à la citoyenneté en Amérique latine, compte tenu de l'importance de l'éducation pour la formation d'un la citoyenneté active. 
Securitising Education to Prevent Terrorism or Losing Direction? Year of publication: 2016 Author: Bill Durodie Corporate author: Society for Educational Studies | Taylor & Francis This article examines the growing relationship between security and education, particularly in the light of the UK government’s Prevent Duty that seeks to tackle radicalization in a variety of milieus, including universities. However, rather than seeing this process as being merely one-way, through a so-called securitization of education, what is explored here is the dialectic between these two spheres. It is suggested that a heightened sensitivity to the supposed consequences of inflammatory rhetoric on the well-being of supposedly suggestible or vulnerable students has been in existence within education for quite some time. Securitising Education to Prevent Terrorism or Losing Direction? Year of publication: 2016 Author: Bill Durodie Corporate author: Society for Educational Studies | Taylor & Francis Cet article examine le lien grandissant entre la sécurité et l'éducation, à la lumière, en particulier, du programme « Prevent Duty » du gouvernement britannique, qui vise à lutter contre la radicalisation dans différents milieux, tels que les universités. Cependant, plutôt que de voir un simple processus de sécurisation de l'éducation, il s’agit ici d’explorer la dialectique entre ces deux éléments. On pose comme hypothèse qu'une sensibilité accrue aux soi-disant conséquences d’un discours enflammé sur le bien-être des élèves prétendus influençables ou vulnérables existe au sein de l'éducation depuis un certain temps.

Holocaust Education: Analysis of Curricula and Frameworks: A Case Study of Illinois This article addresses how far educational institutions have come in designing authentic and meaningful curricula for teaching the Holocaust at the secondary level. Examined in this article are the historical development of Holocaust education in the United States, with a focus on the state of Illinois as a case study, what contributes to the development of a full curriculum, and what constitutes the boundary between a curriculum and a framework, based on examination of the work of scholars and institutions in the field. Analysis of existing frameworks according to criteria developed by the authors has yielded the finding that a framework can only guide teachers to an extent because of its looser structure. A full curriculum, however, is structured with greater detail and more direct ways of determining evidence that demonstrates understanding of the content and mastery of essential skills. Recommendations are provided for Holocaust Education curriculum development, underscoring the significance of an engaging design that makes learning more lasting and meaningful. (By the author) 
Understanding Matters: Holocaust Curricula and the Social Studies Classroom Over the past two decades, interest in Holocaust education has grown substantially as individual states, starting in the 1980s, began to mandate and/or recommend Holocaust studies as part of the social studies curriculum. As a result, these mandates and/or interest in the Holocaust have spawned any number of curriculum products, some of which seek less to help the student of history acquire an understanding of this historical event, and more in terms of dictating to the social studies student what he or she should understand. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to critique Holocaust curricula that have been developed under the auspices of a state department of education (SDE) or endorsed by a SDE, as we believe that teachers unfamiliar with the Holocaust will turn to these products as sources of authority. We base this critique on what we refer to as three approaches or considerations to understanding history—the body of work on historical thinking which we view as the underpinning of historical empathy and positionality, historical empathy as articulated by Elizabeth Yeager, O.L. Davis, Jr., and Stuart Foster, and the guidelines on teaching the Holocaust developed for the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum by William Parsons and Samuel Totten. These three elements, each in their own way, help us to understand the challenge for teachers and students whose foundation for understanding the Holocaust may solely rest upon curriculum products whose curricular aims and/or design often obstruct the quest to “understand,” e.g., lack of historical accuracy, lack of depth, and historical gaps.
