Global citizenship education: citizenship education for globalizing societies Year of publication: 2015 Author: Werner Wintersteiner | Heidi Grobbauer | Gertraud Diendorfer | Susanne Reitmair-Juárez Corporate author: Austrian Commission for UNESCO This text reflects the work we have been doing for many years in the area of Global Citizenship Education (GCED) in Austria. Two endeavors particularly stand out: first, the continuing Masters programme GCED at the Alps-Adriatic University (Alpen-Adria Universität) in Klagenfurt, which is a specialized course of study for educationalists, teacher trainers, NGO associates and teachers (participants may either graduate with a certificate after two years or an MA degree after three years respectively), and second, our cooperation with the Austrian UNESCO Associated Schools Project Network. This was the originally intended audience for the German version of this brochure, which constitutes the programmatic basis for our training programs. We understand GCED as a concept that is located at the interface between civic education, global education and peace education, as well as education for sustainable development and intercultural learning. Our approach is characterized by these four features:* theoretical grounding and a particular focus on terminology in order to foster competence of judgment regarding political concepts* investigating the historical dimension of GCED in depth in order to account for colonialism and neocolonialism* socio-critical orientation in order to set us apart from strands of GCED that ultimately perpetuate concepts of Western hegemony* didactic implementation that is systematic and based on appropriate theoretical work in order to avoid pragmatismWith this English edition (the section specific to the Austrian context was omitted) we wish to initiate a dialog with colleagues in the whole world and hope to engage in lively exchange. Education à la citoyenneté mondiale: éducation à la citoyenneté pour les sociétés de mondialisation Year of publication: 2015 Author: Werner Wintersteiner | Heidi Grobbauer | Gertraud Diendorfer | Susanne Reitmair-Juárez Corporate author: Austrian Commission for UNESCO Ce texte reflète le travail que nous faisons depuis de nombreuses années dans le domaine de l'éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale (ECM) en Autriche. Deux projets se démarquent particulièrement: d'abord, le programme de maîtrise ECM à l'Université alpine-adriatique de Klagenfurt, qui est un cours spécialisé pour les pédagogues, les formateurs d'enseignants, les associés des ONG et les enseignants (les participants peuvent soit être diplômés Avec un certificat après deux ans ou un MA après trois ans respectivement), et deuxièmement, notre coopération avec le Réseau autrichien du projet des écoles associées de l'UNESCO. Il s'agissait du public initialement destiné à la version allemande de cette brochure, qui constitue la base programmatique de nos programmes de formation. Nous considérons l'ECM comme un concept situé à l'interface entre éducation civique, éducation globale et éducation à la paix, ainsi que l'éducation pour le développement durable et l'apprentissage interculturel. Notre approche se caractérise par ces quatre caractéristiques: fondement théorique et un accent particulier sur la terminologie afin de favoriser la compétence de jugement sur les concepts politiques étudier la dimension historique de l'ECM en profondeur afin de rendre compte du colonialisme et néocolonialisme orientation socio-critique afin Nous distinguent des filières de l'ECM qui, en fin de compte, perpétuent les concepts d'une mise en œuvre didactique de l'hégémonie occidentale systématique et basée sur un travail théorique approprié pour éviter le pragmatisme. Avec cette édition en anglais (la section spécifique au contexte autrichien a été omis), nous souhaitons initier un dialogue avec des collègues dans le monde entier et espérer engager des échanges animés. 
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. Perspectives interculturelles, droits et reconnaissance à Montréal (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 Dans les débats entourant la gestion de la diversité culturelle, de nouvelles perspectives sont actuellement discutées par les instances politiques et socioculturelles, comme celles de l’interculturalisme, de l’interculturel, de l’interculturalité, de la reconnaissance et de leurs arrimages aux droits humains. Ces thèmes se retrouvent dans la réflexion québécoise sur les plans politique, de la gestion urbaine et de la recherche en sciences sociales. Cet article, après avoir situé les perspectives respectives européenne et québécoise sur ces thèmes, analyse les discours de leaders communautaires montréalais impliqués dans le domaine de l’immigration et interviewés dans le cadre du projet InterReconnaissances. Les données montrent que les perspectives interculturelles ne font pas l’objet d’une formalisation ni d’une validation poussées, mais qu’elles se retrouvent surtout associées à des pratiques diverses et à des formations visant à la sensibilisation des intervenants impliqués dans la rencontre interculturelle. Les notions de droit et de reconnaissance se déclinent sur trois plans: la lutte pour la reconnaissance à la fois des groupes immigrants, de leurs cultures et du travail réalisé par les groupes associatifs dans ce domaine. La reconnaissance de la diversité sociale des groupes fortement stigmatisés suggère aussi l’ouverture à de nouvelles problématiques interculturelles jusque-là négligées, confirmant la place importante de ces notions dans le champ de l’action communautaire montréalaise. 
Learning to Read the World?: Teaching and Learning about Global Citizenship and International Development in Post-Primary Schools Year of publication: 2011 Author: Audrey Bryan | Meliosa Bracken Corporate author: Irish Aid This is the first published study of its kind in an Irish context, offering combined insights into the status and practice of Development Education in post-primary schools as well as an interrogation of how development issues are represented in the formal curriculum. It adopted a qualitative approach, enabling a rich description of what Development Education looks like in an Irish context and how it is understood in post-primary schools, as well as an in-depth exploration of teachers’ experiences and views about ‘doing’ Development Education in post-primary settings. Combining an analysis of curriculum materials (including 75 lesson plans and a similar number of textbooks) as well as in-depth interviews with 26 in-career teachers currently teaching Development Education in a broad and diverse cross-section of post-primary schools, the study provides a comprehensive portrait of Global Citizenship Education in Irish second-level schools. The overall aim of the research was to identify the strengths, possibilities and limits in existing pedagogical and curricular approaches to Development Education across a range of subjects at post-primary level in Ireland. 
Femmes et mouvement populaire d’habitation au Brésil: Vers une féminisation des luttes pour le droit au logement ? (Économie et Solidarités; Vol. 43, No. 1-2) Year of publication: 2013 Author: Charmain Levy | Marianne Carle-Marsan | Anne Latendresse Corporate author: Centre interdisciplinaire de recherche et d’information sur les entreprises collectives (CIRIEC)‑Canada Au Brésil, depuis la fin des années 1990, des actions collectives ont lieu autour du droit à la ville, en particulier pour le droit au logement. Alors qu’il existe des centaines, voire des milliers de bâtiments vacants dans le centre-ville de Rio de Janeiro et São Paulo, notamment, des organisations populaires occupent des bâtiments publics vides en vue d’obtenir le droit d’y résider et, éventuellement, de les transformer en logement public. Deux études ont mis en lumière la présence majoritaire de femmes qui, issues du milieu des sans-abri, des taudis et des favelas, jouent un rôle important dans les occupations. Dans cet article, nous proposons une analyse de la trajectoire de ces femmes afin de voir comment leur engagement à l’intérieur du mouvement urbain a changé leur vie sur les plans individuel et collectif. En d’autres termes, nous allons nous pencher sur le processus de construction du sujet politique opéré par des femmes de milieux précaires, actives au sein du mouvement pour le droit au logement. Par ailleurs, en nous penchant sur leur rôle au sein de ce mouvement, nous tenterons de voir dans quelle mesure ces femmes l’influencent et, en nous inspirant des travaux de Lefebvre et de Castells (1980), dans quelle mesure elles contribuent à la production de la ville. 
Learning about Development at A-Level: A study of the impact of the World Development A-level on Young People’s Understanding of International Development (Development Education Research Centre Research Paper; No.7) Year of publication: 2012 Author: Gill Miller | Elizabeth Bowes | Douglas Bourn | Juan Miquel Castro Corporate author: Development Education Research Centre (DERC) Learning about development has been a feature of the school curriculum in England for a number of years, most notably through Geography and there has been increased interest in examination courses at post-sixteen. By reviewing what young people have learnt and gained from such a course, this report aims to demonstrate how young people perceive international development issues and what impact this has had on their views about the wider world. 
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.
