The Achievements and Tasks of the Global Citizenship Education University Course Development Project Year of publication: 2020 Author: Eegyeong Kim | Soobin Min | Semi Lee | Haeryun Kim Corporate author: Korean Society of Education for International Understanding (KOSEIU) This study seeks to analyze the achievements and tasks of the 「GCED University Course Development Project」 promoted by APCEIU. Using such research methods as literature review, workshops, and expert consultation, we analyzed the four-year project surrounding course providers, course contents, and student learning and satisfaction. The findings show that the project has heightened universities’ interest in GCED through 33 courses involving 1,572 students from 21 universities. It was also confirmed that a variety of supports allowed students to have meaningful learning experiences. However, large class sizes, disparity among universities, and the absence of performance measuring tools seemed to limit the success of the project. As a strategy for overcoming these limitations, we suggested the tasks in terms of both quantitative and qualitative aspects. 
These Stories are From the Past: Feminism in History and Citizenship Textbooks as Seen by Grade 10 Quebec Students (McGill Journal of Education; Vol. 52, No. 2) Year of publication: 2017 Author: Marie-Hélène Brunet Corporate author: McGill University. Faculty of Education The article looks at the way students interact with content related to feminism in history textbooks. A questionnaire was distributed to 575 Québec high school students in order to identify their conceptions of textbooks and feminism. Nine students then participated in interviews to assess their understanding of the role of women’s agency in history as well as their reaction to contradictory narratives. The results show the importance of considering students’ representations of the past in order to evaluate the mediation process. A very high proportion of students (88 %) considered the textbook to be a reflection of objective truth. They seemed uncomfortable when completing the task and tried to lessen the differences between narratives while selecting the elements corresponding to their initial conceptions. A majority of the students were able, in varied ways, to differentiate the texts in depending on their agency. 
Intercultural Perspectives, Rights and Recognition in Montreal (Anthropologie et Sociétés; Vol. 41, No. 3) Year of publication: 2017 Author: Francine Saillant | Joseph J. Lévy | Alfredo Ramirez-Villagra Corporate author: Département d’anthropologie de l’Université Laval Within the debates about the way to deal with cultural diversity, new perspectives emerge which are actually discussed by the political and sociocultural instances, such as the notions of interculturalism, intercultural, interculturality, recognition, and their links to human rights. These topics are part of the discussion in Quebec, whether on the political scene, on the urban management level and in the social sciences. This article presents the European and Quebec perspectives on these issues and analyses the discourses of community leaders in Montreal who are involved and interviewed within the InterReconnaissances project. Data show that theses intercultural perspectives are not formally defined nor validated, although they often are associated with diverse practices and trainings that are designated to enhance the awareness of the actors involved in the intercultural encounter. The notions of right and recognition play a part on three levels : the struggle for the recognition of the migrant groups and of their cultures, and the recognition of the work done by community organizations. The awareness of the social diversity within these groups of migrants, who may be strongly stigmatized, bring new intercultural problematics, corroborating the importance of these notions on the field of communitarian action in Montreal. 
The Global Learning Programme: Celebrating Achievement; A Selection of Case Studies and Quotes from England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales Corporate author: Global Learning Programme (GLP) The Global Learning Programme has achieved unprecedented success in its reach to schools across the United Kingdom, with over 10,000 schools registered, and more than 40,000 teachers and 500,000 pupils involved. A high proportion of schools that engaged with the programme had not been involved with global learning previously, and there is a high percentage of positive impact recorded in schools all across the UK. Each of the programmes, in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, has a range of case studies and other evidence from schools on their websites. Here is gathered together a small selection of these and a range of quotes that show glimpses of what has been achieved, the diversity of the schools, and the benefits and impact of global learning. 
A Whole School Approach to Global Learning: Guidance for Schools Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: Global Learning Programme (GLP) | Centre for Global Education (CGE) This guidance document has been created to follow on from the ideas provided in the previous publication, An Introduction to Global Learning: Guidance for Schools. This document focuses on whole school approaches to global learning which connect learning and reveal interconnections between issues, concepts and realities in our world. Whole school approaches move beyond the dedication of one or two motivated teachers and arrive at a team approach, involving both teaching and non-teaching staff and the wider school community. Evidence from best practice suggests this approach will achieve the greatest global learning outcomes across the school and will better support wider school improvement.
