The Effect of a Training Program on Developing the Global Citizenship Principles of the History Teachers in Jordan Year of publication: 2013 Author: Zaid Suleiman M. Al-Edwan | Fadyieh Mohmoud A. Bani Mustafa Corporate author: Deanship of Scientific Research, University of Jordan This study aimed at building a training program for the history teachers in the light of the global citizenship principles and testing its effect on their knowledge level of those principles in Jordan. Study sample consisted of (26) male and female teachers randomly selected from the history teachers for the high Basic stage in the Education Directorate in Ma'daba Governorate. To achieve the study goals, a training program was build in the light of the global citizenship principles, which are: the global peace, democracy, human rights, human and the environment, scientific thinking, technology, and multi-cultures.and a cognitive test of the global citizenship's principles was prepared. After performing the relevant statistical analysis the results revealed that the pre-knowledge level of the history teachers for the basic stage of the global citizenship principles was lower than the educational accepted level (80%), and the presence of differences with statistical significance (α=0.01) between the post-knowledge level of the history teachers at the higher basic stage about the global citizenship principles and the educational accepted level (80%), in favor of the training program in each domain of the global citizenship's principles and for the domains collectively. The study recommended the inclusion of the global citizenship principles and concepts in the teachers training programs to increase their awareness in the global issues. 
The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2019 Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: United Nations (UN) Four years after signing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, countries have taken action to integrate the Goals and targets into their national development plans and to align policies and institutions behind them. The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2019 uses the latest available data to track global progress on the SDGs and to take stock of how far we have come in realizing our commitments. The report shows that, while advances have been made in some areas, monumental challenges remain. The evidence and data spotlight areas that require urgent attention and more rapid progress to realize the 2030 Agenda’s far-reaching vision. Member States agree that these challenges and commitments are interrelated and call for integrated solutions. It is therefore imperative to take a holistic view of the 2030 Agenda and to identify the highest impact areas in order to target interventions. The most urgent area for action is climate change. If we do not cut record-high greenhouse gas emissions now, global warming is projected to reach 1.5°C in the coming decades. As we are already seeing, the compounded effects will be catastrophic and irreversible: increasing ocean acidification, coastal erosion, extreme weather conditions, the frequency and severity of natural disasters, continuing land degradation, loss of vital species and the collapse of ecosystems. These effects, which will render many parts of the globe uninhabitable, will affect the poor the most. They will put food production at risk, leading to widespread food shortages and hunger, and potentially displace up to 140 million people by 2050. The clock for taking decisive actions on climate change is ticking. The other defining issue of our time is increasing inequality among and within countries. Poverty, hunger and disease continue to be concentrated in the poorest and most vulnerable groups of people and countries. Over 90 per cent of maternal deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. Three quarters of all stunted children live in Southern Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. People living in fragile States are twice as likely to lack basic sanitation, and about four times as likely to lack basic drinking water services as people in non-fragile situations. Youth are three times more likely to be unemployed than adults. Women and girls perform a disproportionate share of unpaid domestic work and lack autonomy in decision-making. Just as problems are interrelated, the solutions to poverty, inequality, climate change and other global challenges are also interlinked. Valuable opportunities exist to accelerate progress by examining interlinkages across Goals. For example, tackling climate change requires a shift to clean energy, reversing the trend in forest loss, and changing our production and consumption patterns. Promoting sustainable agriculture can help reduce both hunger and poverty, since close to 80 per cent of those who are extremely poor live in rural areas. Increasing access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene can save millions of lives per year and improve school attendance. Improving proficiency in reading and mathematics of some 200 million children who are falling behind in sub-Saharan Africa will help them climb out of poverty and ultimately enable the region to better compete in the global marketplace. This report also highlights the importance of investing in data for the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda. Most countries do not regularly collect data for more than half of the global indicators. The lack of accurate and timely data on many marginalized groups and individuals makes them “invisible” and exacerbates their vulnerability. While considerable effort has been made to address these data gaps over the past four years, progress has been limited. Increased investment is urgently needed to ensure that adequate data are available to inform decision-making on all aspects of the 2030 Agenda. Towards that end, the Dubai Declaration, launched at the second World Data Forum in October 2018, outlines a demand-driven funding mechanism under Member States’ oversight that will respond quickly and efficiently to the priorities of national statistical systems. 
Social and emotional learning (The Blue Dot Issue 10, 2019) Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development (MGIEP) The tenth edition of The Blue DOT focuses on different aspects of social and emotional learning, including the neurosciences, teacher training, frameworks such as CASEL and SEE Learning and systemic SEL, amongst others. The issue includes a Foreword by Dr. Richard Davidson, William James and Vilas Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the Founder and Director of the Center for Healthy Minds, and our Cover Story that focuses on how SEL can help to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Additionally, it features interviews and opinions from some of the world’s most prominent SEL experts on the importance of integrating SEL in our education systems. Amongst various experts, we hear from Kimberly Schonert-Reichl on her journey in SEL, Robert W. Roeser on “Educating the Head, the Heart and the Hand in the 21st Century” as well as Roger P. Weissberg and Joseph L. Mahoney on “What is Systemic Social and Emotional Learning and Why Does it Matter”? Further, a featured article with responses to a survey by teachers from 4 countries (Bhutan, India, South Africa and Sri Lanka), following the launch of the Institute’s SEL modules on Global Citizenship in a workshop conducted in New Delhi, India in April 2019 is presented. The modules have been rendered on MGIEP’s in house Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven digital platform now called FramerSpace (formerly CHI) and allow the student to have an interactive, instantaneous feedback and immersive experience while addressing contemporary issues such as migration, nationalism and violence.

Environnement et transition (ici et là-bas) Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: Solidarité mondiale Les « Objectifs de Développement Durable » (ODD), adoptés en 2015 par les Nations unies, nous obligent à transformer notre monde. Nous devons prendre d’urgence des mesures pour lutter contre les changements climatiques et leurs répercussions. Si l’action humaine est à la base de ces changements climatiques, elle doit aussi être à la base des solutions. Cette prise de conscience est un fil rouge dans le travail de notre organisation. Les mouvements des travailleurs et travailleuses ont l’obligation d’intégrer le respect de l’environnement dans leurs stratégies, car la planète fixe les limites de tout développement durable ! J’espère que les actions concrètes de nos collègues en Afrique, Amérique latine et en Asie présentées dans notre revue, vous serviront de source de motivation et d’inspiration. Ces bonnes pratiques illustrent que le monde du travail est en train de bâtir, pas à pas, le chemin vers des économies à faibles émissions de carbone. Les personnes en situation pré- caire sont les plus touchées par les changements climatiques. Face à ce constat, nous défendons aussi que les politiques de protection sociale peuvent à la fois contribuer au renforcement des capacités individuelles pour s’adapter, et à l’atténuation des effets dévastateurs de ces changements.
