Welcome to Global Competence for Educators
In a shrinking, more connected world where we all face common challenges, such as those posed by economic recessions, conflicts or climate change, the acquisition of Global Competence has become increasingly important. Countries face increasing challenges, for example the integration of newly arrived peoples through the migration crisis, the rise in nationalism, preparing our youth for life in a digitally interconnected global society, where they face uncertain futures.
The Key Objective of this 3 year Erasmus+ funded project (2019-2022) is to develop future cohorts of educators who are both Globally Competent themselves, but also have the skills to develop Global Competence in their students.

Reimers (2009) suggests that the teaching of Global Competence is hindered from becoming a reality through what he terms as “an obsolete mind-set” where the compartmentalization of curricula prevents teachers from approaching their subject from an interdisciplinary perspective. This project addresses this challenge.
