Intercultural and Decolonization in Higher Education and Challenges in Bolivia Year of publication: 2016 Author: Mario Yapu Corporate author: CELEI Chile There are several efforts to promote multiculturalism and decolonization in higher education, but their application has limitations. This article notes that often these issues are discussed under the influences of history in primary and secondary education that not correspond to higher education and universities reality. In other cases they are addressed as primarily cultural and folclorized problems. To attend this issue, this chapter suggest a reconceptualization of culture and a more integral, materialist and political historical and institutional analysis of interculturality and decolonization in universities. In these way, tried to explain the difficulties in applying the current educational reform at the higher education. La interculturalidad y la descolonización en la Educación Superior y sus desafíos en Bolivia Year of publication: 2016 Author: Mario Yapu Corporate author: CELEI Chile Existen diversos esfuerzos para promover la interculturalidad y descolonización en educación superior, pero su aplicación presenta limitaciones. Este artículo observa que con frecuencia aquellos temas son analizados bajo influencias de la historia de la educación primaria o secundaria que no se adecua a la educación superior y las universidades. En otros casos son abordados como problemas principalmente culturales y folclorizantes. Por eso propone una reconceptualización de la cultura y sugiere un análisis histórico e institucional más integral, materialista y político de la interculturalidad y descolonización en las universidades. Así trata de explicar las dificultades de aplicación de la reforma educativa actual en el nivel superior.

Éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale (ÉCM): Définitions, critiques et postures Year of publication: 2017 Author: Carine Nassif-Gouin | Philippe Tousignant Corporate author: Association québécoise des organismes de coopération internationale (AQOCI) La plupart des organismes de coopération internationale (OCI) se sont engagés dans un long processus d’information, de sensibilisation, d’engagement et d’éducation du public. Ce document cherche à soutenir la réflexion quant à l’approche émergente de l’éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale (ÉCM) et la question suivante : en quoi l’ÉCM est-elle nouvelle ou différent de l’engagement du public ou, par exemple, de l’éducation aux droits humains ? Les OCI mettent à la disposition des apprenants (stagiaires, coopérants, bénévoles, salariés, jeunes en milieu scolaire ou communautaire, entreprises, etc.) de l’information, des formations, des ateliers, des documents voire des trousses, et bien plus encore, qui favorisent l’autonomisation et la responsabilisation des individus. Ces activités sont souvent de nature pédagogique, mais elles peuvent également être d’une toute autre nature. Les OCI ont des pratiques riches et variées en éducation, formation, mobilisation, sensibilisation, etc. Certaines pratiques ont fait leurs preuves et nous encouragent à nous en inspirer ou encore à les adopter. Parmi les facteurs contribuant à la réussite de l’ÉCM, le choix de la définition, la qualité, la précision d’un cadre de références commun jouent un rôle crucial. Ainsi, ce guide tente d’offrir un certain nombre d’informations essentielles à la réalisation et la réussite de l’ÉCM. Du fait qu’il y ait très peu de littérature consacrée à l’éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale au Québec, nous nous sommes beaucoup tourné vers celle qui est issue d’autres pays et contextes. Ce document est conçu à l’intention de toutes les personnes qui souhaitent comprendre ce qu’est l’ÉCM pour en développer des activités et s’approprier ses définitions et contenus. Il faut reconnaître d’emblée que chaque organisme, chaque programme présente des spécificités et qu’il n’est pas souhaitable ou même possible d’uniformiser les guides ou de les rendre conformes à un modèle particulier. Il faut surtout garder à l’esprit que nous tenons à offrir à chacun des acteurs une information de qualité et préparer avec tout le soin nécessaire un guide clair et nourrissant. Ce guide est composé de six (6) parties et d’une note de synthèse. Ainsi, chacun pourra y puiser les informations et ressources ou encore les outils de références souhaités.
