The monitoring report provides a statistical presentation of trends relating to the SDGs in the EU over the past five years (‘short-term’) and, when sufficient data are available, over the past 15 years (‘long-term’). The indicator trends are described on the basis of a set of specific quantitative rules.

A Case Study on the Possible Contribution of Global Citizenship Concept to Education for Sustainable Development (Environmental Education; Vol. 31, No.1) Year of publication: 2018 Author: Seyoung Hwang Corporate author: Korean Society for Environmental Education The aim of this study was to explore the ways in which the recent discussion on global citizenship education could contribute to the discursive possibility of education that addresses cultural diversity and co-existence which had not been considered much in the education for sustainable development (ESD) field. For that, the study showed how the formative experience of global citizen identity as the core concept of global citizenship can be a significant learning experience for ESD. The case studies included UNESCO school activity, school club activity, international volunteering activity and local cultural exchange activity. Based on the interviews with participants, the study found out that they were in the state of accepting or orienting themselves toward global citizen identity. The study also identified the kinds of qualitative experiences affecting such identity formation as facing and reflecting on one’s own cultural bias, intercultural sympathy, participation and action beyond mere knowledge acquisition, self-directed participation and achievement, lack of reflection in the one’ own life context as a global citizen, and conflict with the values embedded in the competition-driven lifestyle. Based on the result, the potential and meanings of the ESD focused on global citizen identity were discussed. 세계시민의식 개념의 지속가능발전교육 기여 가능성에 대한 질적 사례연구 (환경교육; Vol. 31, No. 1) Year of publication: 2018 Author: Seyoung Hwang Corporate author: Korean Society for Environmental Education 본 연구의 목적은 최근 세계시민교육에 대한 활발한 논의와 실천이 그간 지속가능발전교육에서 간과되어왔던 문화 다양성 존중과 공존과 관련된 교육적 논의를 확산하는데 어떻게 기여할 수 있는지를 탐색하는 데 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 세계시민의식의 핵심 개념인 세계시민 정체성(global citizen identity)의 형성이 지속가능발전교육의 중요한 학습 경험이 될 수 있다는 것을 연구 사례를 통해 보여주고자 하였다. 이를 위해 유네스코학교활동, 동아리, 해외자원봉사활동, 지역문화교류활동 등의 4가지프로그램 사례에 대한 질적 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 참여자들은 세계시민 정체성을 수용 또는 지향하는 과정에 있었으며, 이에 영향을 주는 질적 경험에는 문화적 편견에 대한 직시와 성찰, 타문화권 사람들과의 정서적 교감, 지식만이 아닌 참여와 실천, 자기 주도적 참여와 성취, 개인 관심사와 연결, 내 삶 안에서 세계시민으로서의 성찰 부족, 경쟁위주의 삶의 양식과의 가치 충돌 등이 있음을 파악하였다. 이러한 분석 결과를 바탕으로, 지속가능발전교육에서 세계시민의식의 형성을 핵심 목표로 삼는 교육적 접근의 가능성과 의미를 논의하였다.
