Although recent data shows how many universities now include the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as part of their strategic plans, it is much harder to see how many incorporate global competence (GC). In part, this is because there is no single accepted term to encapsulate the types of competences needed to deal with the interconnected issues and challenges that we face.
Even when looking at SDG uptake, most studies only demonstrate where these have been included in universities’ strategic plans. Little research exists around how these are operationalized or enacted within the context of everyday life on campus.
Therefore, the purpose of this workshop is to move beyond terminological differences towards a model for developing and integrating global competence — and its relatives (whatever they may be called) — as an integral part of the learning process within universities. Learn how to operationalize strategy to make GC a reality, not just a nice sentiment on a website or brochure.
To do this, you will engage in a design-based thinking-approach. Design-based thinking comes from the field of Educational Participatory Design Research (EPDR), a human-centric, egalitarian, and emancipatory approach — the very values that underpin global competence — making it an excellent method for operationalizing GC frameworks.
This course is led by Dr. Sarah-Louise Jones, Professor of Global Education at the University of Hull (UK). A recognized leader in global competence research and practice, her work includes extensive publications and internationally funded projects focusing on integrating GC into diverse educational settings. In addition to leading the University of Hull’s GC framework development, she holds prominent positions in professional organizations such as the Association of Teacher Education in Europe (ATEE) and the Education Futures Collaboration (EFC), which she founded to promote collaborative, evidence-based research for improving education quality globally.
