Teaching for Global Citizenship: Unleash your potential is the first of three independent CPD modules designed to help programme and course coordinators, planning group members, educational designers and interested teaching staff to understand what Global Citizenship Education (GCEd) entails and to embed (aspects of) GCEd into their course or programme.

Module 1 is scheduled to start on 5 December. Modules 2 and 3 will be offered in Spring 2023. All modules have been designed in such a way that they can be followed independently of each other.

In Module 1, participants will become acquainted with GCEd and explore what drives us as teachers during gamified exercises. We will examine ways to inject GCEd in personally relevant teaching activities and/or the formal curriculum. This module has a study load of either 8 or 16 hours. Participants who opt for 16-hr module will work on a personally relevant GC educational design problem. Afterwards, micro-grants will be awarded to help participants implement the most inspiring GCEd activities. The two onsite sessions in Module 1 on 5 December and 2 February will be interactive. Preparation materials will be sent in advance to all participants registering for the session.

Duration Module 1: 5 December 2022 - 2 February 2023

Time investment: 7,5-hour module, divided over several sessions/activities

• Participants understand what GCEd entails and how it can be implemented
