L'émancipation des femmes Year of publication: 2015 Corporate author: Îles de Paix Iles de Paix mène au Bénin un programme dédié aux femmes. Il concerne le développement de leurs activités rémunératrices, mais aussi des formations en gestion, au crédit, à l’épargne et des sensibilisations pour une amélioration de leur position dans la société. Ce programme ambitieux, qui concernera directement, sur trois ans, plus de 600 femmes, engendre de profonds bouleversements et, pour bien de ses bénéficiaires, des changements majeurs dans leur vie quotidienne. En témoigne cette femme, qui y a participé. « Au début, quand je voulais suivre une formation pour mener une activité, mon mari me battait pour m’en empêcher. Il me disait que ma place était à la maison.Mais aujourd’hui, il constate que, grâce à cette formation et aux choses que j’ai apprises, je gagne beaucoup mieux ma vie. Alors, il m’encourage à continuer et… il me supplie de lui donner de l’argent ! »Il reste à souhaiter que tous ses gains ne finissent pas dans l’escarcelle de son mari et qu’ils servent avant tout à répondre à ses besoins personnels et à ceux de ses enfants.

Critical Understanding on Global Citizenship Education in Post 2015 Context (Theory and Research in Citizenship Education; Vol. 57, No. 1) Year of publication: 2015 Author: Jinhee Kim Corporate author: Korea Association of Social Education It is notable that global citizenship education has recently gained prominence in Post 2015 context. This study attempted to explore diverse discourses of global citizenship education in theoretical dimension and it also analyzed the current status of global citizenship education as a new global education agenda. Major findings displayed issues and challenges; de-contextualization against local dimension; vague conceptualization of global citizenship education; limitation of transformative pedagogy and learning discourse; indicator development and monitoring issues; a paradigm shift for global citizenship education engaging with lifelong learning. Eventually, this study argues that comprehensive vision and long term road-map should be established to enhance global citizenship education.
