Dear Crossing Borders (CB) friends, please help spread the news that is starting a special a global forum at Krogerup college in Demark: CROSSING BORDERS GLOBAL FORUM
Crossing Borders Global Forum
In the course of Crossing Borders Global Forum you will cross your personal, cultural, and ideological borders to become an aware global citizen. You will test your ideas and build your capacity to act in the world. You will discover the global perspective in all that you do. You will examine globalisation through the lens of ethics (fair trade and the free movement of peoples), socio-cultural issues (freedom of speech and religious and fundamentalism), the environment (and international efforts to manage it), and post September 11 conflict issues. You will examine the larger geo-political forces at work in the world and observe how they play out in the economic lives of people worldwide. The course combines lectures, workshops, group projects, study tours and presentations. Global activism will be one possibility after this course. Global awareness will be a certainty
The Course idea
- A globally-oriented, interdisciplinary course in English addressing current global issues:
- Led by a multicultural faculty and serving a multicultural learning group.
- Built on interdependent learning/action modules
- Deriving key projects and activities from learners’ interests
- Delivering concrete learning outcomes - booklets, short films, multimedia presentations, public actions, exhibitions, performances, local or global communications initiatives.
- Transmitting relevant skills and perspectives for living and/or working in any part of the world.
The aim
- To provide a unique learning environment for youth from Denmark and abroad to raise their awareness of the key global forces and structures impacting on their lives.
- To offer pathways toward becoming active global citizens with the competencies to seek understanding, communicate, connect and cooperate with other people.
The content
The institutional dimension
Participants will explore and reflect on the values, operating philosophy and particular interests driving the policies and practices of the major globalisation drivers, such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, World Trade Organisation, multinational corporations and media giants. What is the relationship between these global institutions and the UN system and national governments? In studying these institutions and the relations among them in this era of globalisation, issues of democratic governance, transparency, accountability and corporate social responsibility will receive special attention.
The environmental dimension
This part of the course explores the impact of globalisation on the sustainability of the planet and its inhabitants. Global warming, climate change, migration, UN efforts from Stockholm 1972, Rio’1992, Kyoto 1997, and Johannesburg 2002, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the upcoming Copenhagen Climate Summit 2009, international trade, fair trade, overproduction will be examined in their own right and related to the previous Institutional dimension.
The ethical dimension
Understanding our global footprint on the planet by examining the ethical choices underpinning our lifestyles (shopping, consumption, waste management etc) and reflecting on their global impacts
The socio-cultural dimension
This section will focus on intercultural communication, examining different cultural, ethnic, religious, and ideological beliefs, and socio-political backgrounds. It will further examine what promotes and what inhibits global interconnectedness. In this context, post-9/11 international conflicts, terrorism, human rights, democracy, freedom of expression and ideological/religious fundamentalism will be addressed.
Global Activism
Participants will design and implement projects or activities based on the information, awareness, knowledge, and understanding they have gained during the course. Learners will examine the role of civil society, youth and grassroots organisations and cross border networking. They will also become more effective users of contemporary communications technologies, which will inspire and enable them to become citizen reporters.
The methods
- Lectures and workshops by subject matter experts
- Project-based modules leading to concrete outputs by the participants acting locally or globally
- Relavant award winning documentaries
- Options for short study tours in the Euro-Mediterranean region
