Education for Global Citizenship: Meanings and Practices for a Transformative Cosmopolitism Year of publication: 2017 Author: Alejandra Boni Aristizabal According to the author: "The article aims to analyze in depth the meanings of global citizenships in order to characterize the pedagogical practices of what is known as education for global citizenship. After a brief analysis of the different stages that education for development has gone through, from the assistencialist approach of the 50s to education for global citizenship, we study different perspectives of cosmopolitanism: a vision from the field of ethics, mainly from Martha Nussbaum's perspective that talks about cosmopolitan abilities, from politics, that has democratic proposals such as David Held's, critical perspectives as Boaventura de Souza Santos' ones, and the sociological perspective that allows us to identify intercultural communicative processes where the cosmopolitan view is produced, according to Ulrick Beck's or Gerald Delanty's words. After this, we conclude with a discussion about how to encourage education for develpment spaces that foster global citizenship." Educación para la Ciudadanía Global: Significados y espacios para un cosmopolitismo transformado Year of publication: 2017 Author: Alejandra Boni Aristizabal Según la autora: "El presente artículo tiene como objetivo profundizar en los significados de la ciudadanía global con el fin de caracterizar las prácticas pedagógicas de lo que se conoce como educación para la ciudadanía global. Tras una breve análisis de las distintas etapas por las que ha pasado la educación para el desarrollo, desde el planteamiento asistencialista de los años 50 hasta la educación para la ciudadanía global, nos detenemos en diferentes perspectivas del cosmopolitismo: la visión desde la ética, fundamentalmente a través de la obra de Martha Nussbaum que nos habla de las habilidades cosmopolitas, desde la política, que contiene propuestas de democracia como las de David Held y perspectivas más críticas como las de Boaventura de Sousa Santos, y la perspectiva sociológica que nos permite identificar los procesos de comunicación intercultural donde se produce la mirada cosmopolita, según palabras de Ulrick Beck o Gerard Delanty. Tras ello, concluiremos con una discusión sobre cómo potenciar espacios de educación para el desarrollo desde donde contribuir a la formación de ciudadanos globales"

Global Citizenship and Lingual Identity: The Ability to Perform in Different Lingual Settings Year of publication: 2011 Author: Ann-Christin Torpsten Corporate author: SAGE Publications The aim of this article is to interpret second-language pupils’ encounter with the Swedish school regarding first- and second-language learning.

Citizenship education in Egypt Year of publication: 2013 Author: Madeline Waddell Corporate author: University of Puget Sound The Arab Spring brought hope of a democratic Middle East to many in the international community. While the literature on democratic transitions includes an array of components, scholars on the region have concentrated on institutional developments such as elections and constitutions. While these structural components are essential, this paper advocates for citizenship education as another crucial element in democratic transitions. Although not typically part of this literature, citizenship education entails building an informed and active populace able to contribute to a total culture of democracy. This paper analyzes these pedagogic efforts in transitional Egypt by contrasting the State’s role in citizenship education with that of civil society. This contrast leads to the conclusion that an emphasis on the third sector is necessary for carrying out the goals of citizenship education apolitically. Egypt’s school system is not only the most robust in the Arab world, but has historically been utilized by different authoritarian regimes to advance political goals. When juxtaposed with the emergence of an abundance of NGOs after the 2011 Revolution, it becomes an ideal case study. Analysis is based on theories of citizenship education and research of the Egyptian education system, and is supplemented with informal interviews in the country.
