A Theoretical Discussion on Universal Core Elements and Korean Distinctiveness in Global Citizenship Education (The Journal of Korean Education; Vol. 37, No. 2) Year of publication: 2010 Author: Youlkwan Sung Corporate author: Korean Educational Development Institute (KEDI) Global citizenship education has been the subject of growing attention on global issues, development of ICT (Information and Communication Technology), and increasing interdependence at global level. However, the concept of global citizenship has been facing definitional ambiguity because the concept of citizenship has been tied to territorial boundaries. So there is still no overarching consensus as to what should be taught for students to become good global citizens. In facing this challenge, this paper seeks to explore (a) the definition of global citizenship education and how it has historically evolved, (b) the dilemma between national and supra-national citizenships along with another dilemma between globalization and its negative consequences, (c) universal minimum elements of global citizenship education, and (d) Korean distinctiveness in setting educational objectives. Global citizenship education is not thought of as teaching students in the same way regardless of geographical/cultural differences, but as one that may vary according to nations' culture, history, and developmental level of politics/welfare. In this regard, this paper also examines Korean political and cultural particularities as some constraints against participatory and active concept of global citizenship. The paper criticizes instrumental and ethnocentric interpretation of globalization in Korea and, instead, suggests more participatory and democratic perspectives on such global issues as poverty, hunger, inequality, injustice, sustainable development, etc.

Measuring Intercultural Dialogue: A Conceptual and Technical Framework Year of publication: 2020 Author: Ciara Aucoin | Euan Mackway-Jones | Marcel Smits Corporate author: UNESCO | Institute for Economics and Peace The challenges of addressing growing diversity have amply demonstrated that this vision is needed now more than ever. We all have much to gain from more open and connected societies yet misunderstanding, exclusion and discrimination continue to push identity and culture-based grievances towards conflict and violence, challenging the very foundations of sustainable and inclusive development.This report represents a first step in the UNESCO-IEP joint initiative to strengthen the evidence-base on dialogue for peace and development. Through mobilizing better data on effective dialogue, it is our sincere hope that policymakers and practitioners can better support meaningful and transformative dialogue, holistically supporting the aspirations of the 2030 Agenda. Through this, we hope to elevate dialogue as a connecting enabler of all pillars of UN action, accelerating progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals and making good on the promise of ‘leaving no one behind’.

Global Citizenship Education in the Primary Geography Curriculum of the Republic of Korea: Content Analysis Focusing on the Semantic Structure of 2009 Revised School Curriculum (Journal of the Korean Geographical Society; Vol. 49, No. 6) Year of publication: 2014 Author: Dongmin Lee Corporate author: Korean Geographical Society The purpose of this study is to analyze the share of global citizenship education in the 2009 Revised Social Studies (geography area) School Curriculum of the Republic of Korea. I selected the achievement standards of the geography domain in the fifth and sixth grades as the subjects of analysis. The chosen subjects were examined using content analysis: I used KrKwic, a Korean language content analysis tool, to analyze the content and drew a semantic network of the analysis results using UciNet/NetDraw. I found that the geography domain of the 2009 Revised Primary School Curriculum included the concepts of and factors of global citizenship education. However, global citizenship education did not account for a major portion of the curriculum, and the curriculum achievement standards were noticeably nation-state centered. Global citizenship education factors were not closely associated with to other related factors in fact, they even revealed a isolated pattern. These findings suggest that the inclusion of global citizenship education in primary geography education is limited, because the connections between global citizenship education and related contents, such as the environment, sustainable development, conflict, and cooperation, are probably impeded. Globalization accompanies the transformation of territories, identities, and the relations between nation-states and the world, although nation-states continue to play a significant role in the globalized worlds. Therefore global citizenship education, a educational trend focusing on the global community, is particularly important and is required in the geography curriculum of the global era. I expect that the examination undertaken in this study to contribute to future curriculum revisions regarding globalizatin and global citizenship.
