Global Citizenship Education -  Response to Global Crises

14 of July, 8 am - 9 am NY time

Please register HERE

ICAE co-organizes this official side event at the HLPF, together with the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) and Bridge 47.

In times of crisis, we often turn to education and learning for the answers. Lifelong learning has certainly played a key role in supporting Sustainable Development Goal 3 during the global pandemic, ensuring the health and well-being of citizens by providing the knowledge, information, and skills needed to cope with the new challenges.

But quality education and lifelong learning have the potential to tackle broader global issues and offer sustainable and inclusive solutions, through Global Citizenship Education (GCE). Included in Target 4.7 of Agenda 2030, GCE is a lifelong learning process, which emphasizes critical thinking, political engagement, and civic action. Through the lens of GCE, we can identify further educational priorities related to global challenges. From the importance of respecting human rights and democratic principles during the pandemic to the way we participate in democratic societies and decision making, GCE has a valuable role to play in how we respond to global crises.

This side event will discuss the ways in which GCE can be used to share information and raise awareness on the global issues of sustainable development, anthropogenic climate change and environmental degradation, which has the potential to cause or encourage the spread of new diseases.

Speakers:

• Werner Mauch - UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL)
• Katarina Popovic - International Council for Adult Education (ICAE)
• Rilli Lappalainen - Bridge 47

Moderator:

• Robbie Guevara, International Council for Adult Education (ICAE)
