📋 Tender Overview
Contract partner: Working Group - ULG Global Citizenship Education IV (2023-2027)
Country: Austria Funding amount: € 98.880,00 Project start: 01.10.2023 End: 31.07.2027
SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Overall goal
The overarching goal of the project is the further development and fourth implementation of the ULG Global Citizenship Education (GCED). Global Citizenship Education is an internationally emerging field of educational research and practice and has become a central educational concern of the Global Agenda 2030 (Goal 4.7) and UNESCO.
The university course is a 6-semester master's program for the professional and didactic qualification of educators and other multipliers in Global Citizenship Education. Following the successful completion of three cycles, this project encompasses the implementation of a fourth cycle of the ULG, which has been conceptually further developed and, through an expansion to 120 ECTS and the introduction of internships, enables an even stronger connection between theory- and research-based training and transfer into educational practice.
The aim of the course is to impart (didactic) specialist knowledge based on the latest scientific findings on the topic of Global Citizenship Education, and thus to contribute to the strengthening of Global Citizenship Education in the Austrian education system as well as to the theory-led and research-based reflection of practice and theoretical discourse.
Expected results
- Successful implementation of the course with approximately 25-35 participants (multipliers)
- At the end of the ULG, approximately 25 new master's theses will be available, addressing relevant research questions for GCED.
- At the end of the ULG, approximately 25 internships were completed, contributing to the dissemination and visibility of GCED in Austria and beyond. Approximately 10 events were held as part of the internships.
- At least 5 publications in professional journals and at least 5 presentations on the course.
- Strengthening networking and professional exchange between course participants, former graduates and their institutions (e.g. through an event).
- The course reaches an indirect target group of approximately 2,500 people (schoolchildren, students, children and young people in extracurricular activities, and adults) per year. Larger target groups are also reached through the integration of Global Citizenship Education into curricula, lectures, and specialist publications.
Target group / Beneficiaries
The part-time university course for 25-35 participants is aimed at people across Austria who are active in the training, continuing education, and further training of educators, at principals and teachers of all school types and levels, at adult educators and educators from extracurricular child and youth work, as well as multipliers from other areas (NGOs, politics, public administration, social services, media).
