Our Forest, Our Future Corporate author: Scotdec This material helps teachers and pupils to explore the interdependence of people and forests and the vital role forests play in sustaining our environment – in the past, the present and hopefully the future. The Scots Pine forests in Scotland and the Congo Basin rainforest in Africa provide case studies through which pupils will begin to understand why our forests are under threat and the implications for our planet.In making connections between consumerism, people and the environment, pupils will be encouraged to see how they and their actions have an impact on the lives of others globally. It encourages reflection on the possible futures of the world's forests and ways of taking positive actions for a future where people and forests co-exist in a sustainable way. The resource is structured around a global citizenship framework devised by Oxfam.
Comment être citoyen du monde? Year of publication: 2015 Author: Radhi Meddeb Corporate author: TEDxCarthage | TEDx Talks Le monde a salué la Révolution tunisienne comme étant celle des technologies de l'information et des communications. Cela est vrai en partie, car les jeunes tunisiens ont déjoué la censure, ont relayé les images de la révolte et des protestations. Mais en même temps, l'usage de l'ordinateur et d'Internet reste aujourd'hui très en deçà des normes internationales. Plus encore, il présente des disparités régionales majeures. Des cyberbases dans l'ensemble des régions tunisiennes peuvent donner à chaque tunisien un passeport vers la modernité et la citoyenneté.

Do All Students Have Equal Opportunities to Learn Global and Intercultural Skills at School? (PISA in Focus; No.109) Year of publication: 2020 Author: Tarek Mostafa Corporate author: Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Many education systems seek to create an open, diverse and tolerant society, as education can play a significant role in countering racial, ethnic and national prejudice among children and adolescents. Education for living in an interconnected and diverse world could also contribute to forming generations of citizens who care about global and intercultural issues and who are able and willing to take action for sustainable development and collective well-being.In its 2018 assessment, PISA assessed the competences needed to live in an interconnected and diverse world. Global competence is defined in PISA 2018 as a multi-dimensional capacity that encompasses the ability to: 1) examine issues of local, global and cultural significance; 2) understand and appreciate the perspectives and worldviews of others; 3) engage in open, appropriate and effective interactions across cultures; and 4) take action for collective well-being and sustainable development. This PISA in Focus examines the equity of the learning opportunities for global and intercultural skills.
