Interview with Razi and Soheila Mohebi, authors of short film "Global Citizens"

Screeningof the short film "Global Citizens", by Razi Mohebi (PAT, 2015, duration: 15')

Through a symbolic language, the short film tells the story of a group of children of different nationalities who, together with their teacher, try to include a child who is excluded from their game, introducing the concept of citizen of the world and peaceful coexistence.

The film brings together three dimensions: Nature, represented metaphorically by a tree; culture, depicted with life experiences and from the words of the teacher; play, expressed by the energy, positive attitude and creativity of children.

SESSION 4 - Parallel workshops : take action to promote GCED

Workshop 1 - How to build a CSOs-LAs alliance to promote GCED?

Facilitator: Clive Belgeonne, Development Education Centre South Yorkshire

Abstract: In this workshop participants reflect on what has led them to be active on these topic(s), where they would like to be in a few years time and how different stakeholders (LAs, national institutions, schools, CSOs) can develop a shared vision. It will look at some of the features of good partnership and the challenges of CSOs, LAs and schools working together. Through dialogue and case studies, the workshop aims to consider ways to make the vision a reality with commitment from all parts.

Workshop 2 - Can a peer review support the development of GCED policies?

Facilitator: Helmuth Hartmeyer, President, Global Education Network Europe (GENE)

Abstract: Moving from the methodology applied by GENE to improve and increase Global Education in European countries, the workshop will engage participants and simulate a peer review process among sub-national authorities and other stakeholders. The precess supports mutual learning, highlights good practices, and reflects critically in a comparative frame on the issues and challenges faced by sub-state actors as they work to increase and improve Global Education policies, support and provision.

Workshop 3 - How to develop evaluation tools of GCED? Impact indicators on children, teachers and policies

Facilitators: Matilde Mundula and Laura Siviero, University of Turin

Abstract: This workshop deals with the evaluation of education programme on sustainable development and international solidarity, moving from the presentation of some experiences in the schools of Piedmont. Participants will engage in the construction of a possible tool to be used for monitoring the impacts of an educational project.
