<p><br/> <strong>Full Session Description (as long as you would like):</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #003300;"><font size="3">New media encourages innovative opportunities for agile engagement in global collaborative discussion. Achieving this level of collaborative engagement can occur with global connectivity and collaborative discussions in a new construct called participatory spontaneity. Participatory spontaneity is the constructivist interplay among many voices and viewpoints. Participatory spontaneity has application to global citizenship’s approach to “understand, see, and act” (Brigham, 2011). The spontaneity of participatory discussion among audiences across the globe is necessary to engender global interconnections, interdependence, and collegial understanding for global problem-solving. Participatory spontaneity encourages perspective sharing, interconnections, diversity, critical thinking, and social justice. What does participatory spontaneity look like in online global areas? How do we know when it is achieved? In this session we’ll discuss key characteristics and emerging research-based best practices of participatory spontaneity and how you can achieve it with global audiences to positively impact teaching and learning.</font></span><br/> <font size="3"><br/></font></p>

<div><p><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">The <a href="http://globalcompetencecertificate.org/">Global Competence Certificate</a> was launched in 2014 with the goal of increasing the number of educators professionally trained to teach for global competence. <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">GCC courses prepare educators to better understand global issues, teach for global competence, and facilitate students' development as globally informed, engaged citizens.</span></span> As the program grew, there was a demand from teachers to enroll in single courses. In 2016, we introduced that option.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">The next session of GCC courses will run January 23 - March 19, 2017. <strong><a href="http://globalcompetencecertificate.org/course-registration/" target="_blank">Register by January 10</a></strong> for the following courses:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Dialoguing in Global Education</strong></span> (<span class="aBn"><span class="aQJ">January 23 - March 19</span></span>)</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Many K-12 educators are struggling to talk with students about creating more inclusive communities and classrooms. If you’re looking for a supportive cohort to build your skills fostering effective dialogue around cross-cultural communication and inclusion, enroll in Dialoguing in Global Education.</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Digital Pedagogy</strong></span> (<span class="aBn"><span class="aQJ">January 23 - March 19</span></span>)</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Are you looking for inspiration on using technology to help students learn in new ways? Digital Pedagogy is designed to expand teachers' repertoire while considering how changes in pedagogy shape knowledge around global education.</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Introduction to Global Competence</strong></span> (<span class="aBn"><span class="aQJ">January 23 - March 19</span></span>)</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">The world is becoming more interconnected and interdependent all the time. Why is this happening and how can you help your students shape their role in the world? In Introduction to Global Competence, teachers examine the complex globalizing factors transforming the world while building a framework for a pedagogical outlook based on global competence.</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Poverty</strong></span> (<span class="aBn"><span class="aQJ">January 23 - March 19</span></span>)</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Would you like to build a more nuanced understanding of economic inequality and poverty, while deepening your knowledge of the causes and consequences of global poverty? In the Poverty course, participants explore these questions and review ways to help students approach this daunting topic with empathy and humility.</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Sustainability & Environment</strong></span> (<span class="aBn"><span class="aQJ">January 23 - March 19</span></span>)</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Environmental stewardship has never been more critical, and engaging students in discussion on creating a sustainable path forward for our planet is essential. If you’re looking for inspiration on teaching sustainability, consider enrolling in Sustainability & Environment.</span></span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>Javier Collado Ruano:</strong> Today, 5<sup>th</sup> December 2015, <strong><a href="http://www.globaleducationmagazine.com/global-education-magazine-13/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #333399;">International Volunteer Day</span></a></strong>, we give welcome to our special guess: <strong>Ms. Irina Bokova,</strong><strong> Director General of UNESCO</strong>. I have had the opportunity to dialogue with her during the <strong><a href="http://www.globaleducationmagazine.com/unesco-forum-global-citizenship-education-gced-building-peaceful-sustainable-societies-preparing-post-2015/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #333399;">2<sup>nd</sup> UNESCO Forum on Global Citizenship Education</span></a></strong> celebrated in February of 2015 in Paris, where she became our <span style="color: #333399;"><a href="http://www.globaleducationmagazine.com/honorary-membership/" target="_blank">Honorary Membership</a>, and during the <a href="http://www.globaleducationmagazine.com/world-education-forum-2015-adopts-declaration-future-global-education-2030/" target="_blank"><strong>World Education Forum</strong></a> of Incheon (South Korea) in May 2015.</span> Dear Ms. Bokova, thank you very much for sharing your time and reflections with all our readers. <strong>Six years after your election to the leadership of UNESCO, how would you assess the results? Would you say that UNESCO has a better role and a better place in the UN system today?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Irina Bokova:</strong> Like the <strong>United Nations,</strong> <strong>UNESCO</strong> is celebrating its <strong>70th anniversary</strong> this year. November 16 marked the official day of the adoption of our Constitution seven decades ago, which states that “since wars being in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men and women that the defences of peace must be constructed.” We had convened a Leaders’ Forum to celebrate, take stock and look forward. The Forum took place, but in an entirely different spirit, dedicated to all the victims of the brutal terrorist attack that struck Paris on 13 November – attacks against youth, against culture, against our shared values and our shared humanity. Every leader who took the floor stressed that UNESCO was more than ever a force for peace. President Hollande affirmed that UNESCO is the moral conscience of humanity and underlined our essential role in promoting the diversity of cultures, the pluralism of opinion and belief, and education as a driver of universal emancipation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I took office on a platform of new humanism, fostered through respect for diversity, human rights and dignity. This can only be advanced through universal access to quality education, through the realization of gender equality, through the sharing of knowledge in all fields to strengthen resilience, through the defence of freedom of expression for all, through protection of our cultural heritage – tangible and intangible.</p>
<blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">Today, more than ever, education, intercultural dialogue, science and freedom of expression are arms of resistance and resilience, sustainability and peace.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Today, UNESCO’s priorities are built firmly into the <strong>2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development</strong>, and I see this as a real accomplishment – the result of advocacy, negotiation and a global understanding that the soft power we stand for matters for peace, for building more just, equitable and inclusive societies.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Let me take the example of education. We have adopted a new vision that builds on lessons learned over the past decade and sets bold benchmarks: twelve years of free education for all, qualified and duly trained teachers in every classroom, attention to technical and vocational education and training, and focus on the very mission of education – to foster new forms of global citizenship and responsibility towards the entire human family and the planet.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We see this largely reflected in the new agenda for sustainable development adopted at the United Nations in New York in September.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">UNESCO has shaped this new vision that is now an integral part of the 2030 Agenda, with an ambitious, universal and comprehensive goal.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333399;"><strong><a href="http://www.globaleducationmagazine.com/2015-efa-gender-report/" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-8206 alignleft" src="http://www.globaleducationmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Education-for-All-2000-2015-global-education-magazine-300x225.png" alt="Education for All 2000-2015, global education magazine" width="300" height="225"/></a>JCR: According to the <a href="http://www.globaleducationmagazine.com/2015-efa-gender-report/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #333399;">Education for All Gender Report</span></a> launched by UNESCO this year, less than half of countries have achieved gender parity in education. Why is so important to empower girls, young women and mothers to achieve a sustainable future?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>IB</strong>: First of all, because it is a fundamental human right, a matter of social justice and just as important, because investing in girls is the highest yielding and most sustainable investment any country can make.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The evidence is irrefutable, whether you look at the positive impact on poverty alleviation, child and maternal health, HIV prevention, later age of marriage, income, productivity, civic engagement.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The figures cited in the report demonstrate that we have to put far more political will, advocacy and resources into keeping girls in school – by acting on family poverty, on school safety, on teacher training, on curricula – so that education is emancipatory and empowering. There is no insurmountable obstacle.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We see the breakthrough that can happen with governments are committed, when they improve water and sanitation, run campaigns, implement school feeding programmes, increase the number of female teachers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Real equality is not just a numbers game – it requires a change in mindsets, in policies, in social norms, in beliefs. This is why, together with <strong>UN Women</strong> and <strong>UNFPA</strong>, <strong>UNESCO</strong> is launching a <strong>Joint Programme for the Empowerment of Adolescent Girls and Young Women through Education</strong>, to focus on the most fragile transitions in the learning cycle and widen the lens to drive real change. We are taking a life cycle perspective that will strengthen the nexus between education, health, gender, equality and empowerment, working across ministers as well as with civil society organizations, in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.</p>
<blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">I am convinced that the face of sustainability and peace is that of a 12 year old girl who is not taken away into child marriage, who goes to school, in a safe and enabling environment, and who is given the confidence to make informed choices and decide on her future.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is the right and the world for which I am fighting.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>JCR: From ending poverty to ensuring healthy lives and taking urgent action to combat climate change, the 17 <a href="http://www.globaleducationmagazine.com/sustainable-development-goals/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #333399;">Sustainable Development Goals</span></a> call for an unprecedented level of global solidarity, to leave no one behind.</strong><strong>What is the role of global citizenship education to achieve a transnational and transcultural consciousness about global problems?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>IB: Global citizenship</strong> is the third pillar of the UN Secretary-General’s <strong>Global Education First Initiative</strong>, launched in 2012 and taken forward by UNESCO with an engaged group of high level partners and champion countries. Simply put, global citizenship education has come of age and it is essential.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It goes to the essence of education’s mission – to show the way to living together, to promote mutual respect and understanding, pride in one’s identity and openness onto the world. More than ever today, we need to foster this sense of shared humanity and planet, and the responsibility it entails.</p>
<blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">Our globalized times call for <strong>global citizens</strong> and <strong>green citizens</strong> – versed in human rights, culturally literate, digitally literate, skilled for intercultural dialogue, capable of making a positive difference in their families and communities through daily gestures and actions. It is highly significant that global citizenship – and <strong>education for sustainable development</strong> – is included in the new Sustainable Development Goal on education. The 2030 Agenda calls for an “ethic of global citizenship”, for unprecedented global solidarity.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">UNESCO has taken an intellectual and a constructive approach, with the recent publication of topics and learning objectives for <strong>Global Citizenship Education</strong> to guide policy makers and curriculum developers. We will continue to place strong emphasis on this, because this is also the only way to counter violent extremism, to provide youth with the skills and maps they need to stand up for human rights, to reject ideologies of hate, to facilitate dialogue across all differences. And for this we have to support schools, parents and teachers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>JCR: What were the strategies adopted in the <a href="http://www.globaleducationmagazine.com/world-education-forum-2015-adopts-declaration-future-global-education-2030/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #333399;">World Education Forum</span></a> celebrated in Incheon, Republic of Korea, for the next decades? What are the main challenges of UNESCO to face the <a href="http://www.globaleducationmagazine.com/sustainable-development-goals/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #333399;">Sustainable Development Goals</span></a> led by the UN for 2030?</strong></span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">© GEM. From left to right: Refaat Sabbah, Irina Bokova, Monique Fouilhoux, Kailash Satyarthi, and Qian Tang.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>IB</strong>: We should not underestimate the historic reach and legacy of the <strong>World Education Forum</strong> – co-convened with six UN partners, and more recently with the International Labour Organization coming on board.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At this Forum – attended by over 1600 participants, including 120 Ministers and many partners from civil society, academia, foundations, the private sector and other – the world spoke with one voice to affirm that education is a public good, a fundamental human right and a shared responsibility.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Together, in May, we agreed on one goal, namely to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In September, the 17 global goals were adopted, with one full-fledged goal on education that is universal and comprehensive, and reflects the vision that we have advocated for over the course of national, regional and global consultations and negotiations.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A few months later, in November, in the margins of UNESCO’ General Conference, more than 180 Member States adopted <strong>the Education 2030 Framework for Action</strong> – this is an implementation guide for SDG 4. Never before has the world crafted such a detailed road-map for the implementation of a new goal.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Building capacities will be the name of the game – for systems, for teachers, for learners, so that no one is left behind and so that everyone draws lasting benefit from education. Legislative and policy frameworks have to be strengthened.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Policies have to be targeted towards equity, inclusion and gender equality. Measures have to be taken to improve and the quality and relevance of education at all ages. Emergency situations must be addressed with far more resolve. And finally, adequate resources must be mobilized to finance our ambitions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Let me be clear that national governments are in the driver’s seat but the international community must support country-led action. The reality is that new funding is urgently needed to bridge the annual US$40 billion funding gap. Every country needs to meet the target of education receiving 6 percent of gross domestic product, and we need to reach the overall goal of education standing at 0.7% of official development assistance. This will call for political will and partnerships across social sectors to place education at the centre of development, because it is the most transformative force for prosperity, security and peace.</p>
<p><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>JCR: What is your opinion about the role of civil society to achieve “The Future that We Want”?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><img class=" wp-image-2878 alignleft" src="http://www.globaleducationmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/UNESCO-Director-General-Irina-Bokova-Global-Education-Magazine-199x300.png" alt="UNESCO Director-General, Irina Bokova, Global Education Magazine" width="209" height="315"/>IB</strong>: We would not have the education agenda that was just adopted without the voice of civil society, and we will not be able to implement it without the experience, commitment and outreach of civil society. Civil society has a direct grip on the daily conduct of education, in communities, villages, cities and conflict zones. Through powerful networks and advocacy, civil society has a record of influencing legislative change, holding governments to account and making education a national and global cause, fuelling momentous progress since the World Education Forum in Dakar in 2000. This must continue. As global coordinator of the <strong>Education for All</strong> movement, and now mandated to continue with the coordination of SDG4, UNESCO has and will always ensure that civil society has a prominent place at the table, alongside Governments and other stakeholders. In 2014, the <strong>Nobel Peace Prize</strong> recognized the formidable and courageous role of civil society by awarding the prize jointly to <strong>Malala Yousafzai</strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.globaleducationmagazine.com/international-youth-day-interview-kailash-satyarthi-2014-nobel-peace-prize/" target="_blank">Kailash Satyarthi</a></strong>. They stand several generations apart but are driven by the same unshakeable conviction in education as a fundamental human right that should be enjoyed by every child, regardless of their circumstances.</p>
<blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">We need to forge ever strong alliances for the defence and implementation of new education goal.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Education 2030 Framework for Action affirms the need for civil society to be actively engaged and involved at all stages, from planning through to monitoring and evaluation. Civil society has a critical role to play in social mobilization, raising public awareness, bringing marginalized voices to the centre, holding governments to account for their commitments, by scrutinizing spending, ensuring transparency in governance and budgeting, and developing innovative approaches to help advance the right to education, especially for the most disadvantaged.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>JCR: Finally, what message would you like to send to all our readers in the celebration of the <a href="http://www.globaleducationmagazine.com/global-education-magazine-13/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #333399;">International Volunteer Day</span></a>? How could we motivate them to improve our common planet?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>IB</strong>: UNESCO is not directly involved in the celebration of International Volunteer Day but let me say that we stand behind every action of solidarity that reaches the most marginalized and empowers them with the confidence, knowledge and skills to better their lives.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These networks of solidarity are crucial everywhere – they foster social cohesion, enrich our lives and make our societies more generous, compassionate and resilient. Waves of positive change can be generated through very small actions, and each one of them matters, including to cope with the impact of <strong>climate change</strong>, and to protect our environment and planet.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Everyone has a stake in this, because we have to invent new models – of producing, consuming and living together.</p>
<blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">I saw this spirit of leadership expressed at the recent <strong>Youth Forum</strong> organized at UNESCO. Youth asserted their ambition to be a force for change, to increase intercultural exchanges, to act against injustice and discrimination, to improve the lives of all those who are marginalized.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are a myriad of initiatives going on everywhere and everyday around the world, driven by volunteers who give their time, ideas and talent to advocate, help, bring hope and change. <strong>Volunteerism</strong> brings personal enrichment and social change. It does not replace public responsibility but reinforces and complements it. Societies must give more recognition to the contribution of volunteers of all ages and showcase their achievements because they can have multiplier effects.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is also the essence of new humanism, the ethos of co-responsibility and active citizenship that lies at the heart of living together and building more tolerant and sustainable societies that leave no one behind.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>JCR: Thank you very much for your time and inspiring words, dear Bokova. I am looking forward to see you again to learn more about your rich reflections and experiences.</strong></span></p>

Step by Step Budget Calculation to Start a Non Profit

<div><p>Do you have a plan to start a nonprofit? Although starting a nonprofit is similar to starting any kind of business, but starting a nonprofit is an exciting entrepreneurial attempt. You will also need government’s obligation to follow. After finalization of the structure of your nonprofit, you have to proceed to obtain the several government affiliations.</p>
<p>Here are a description and procedure for your next step to do. Rules and procedures are applicable for America based nonprofits or those who want to work with America.</p>
<p><strong>Market research and business plan:</strong> A strong market research is needed to identify your organization from over 1.4 millions nonprofit nationwide. Your research will help you to find out the category and demand for your nonprofit. Like other business, nonprofit should have a dynamic business and strategic plan. However, research is the great way to learn about fund generation strategy applied by other nonprofits. Therefore, scope of research should include in your business plan.</p>
<p><strong>Cost Analysis-</strong> It depends on your organization’s financial strength. A good research and business plan will help to establish a good portfolio to grow up your organization.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Incorporation:</strong> Incorporation for nonprofits is same as other organization. Nonprofit organization gets some extra benefits through incorporation, like tax-exempt status. If your nonprofits have a wide mission, high level of liability or have a potentiality to work on a larger financial scale, then incorporation of the nonprofit will support towards granting limited liability, and will make protection shield to your board members and staffs. Through Incorporation, your organization will qualify for more grants and have more legal credibility.</p>
<p><strong>Cost analysis-</strong>The cost for filing of nonprofit Articles is 25$ to 100$ depend on in what state you filing for. If your nonprofit have low risk and short-term mission, then it is not compulsory for you.</p>
<p><strong>Corporate name and Trademark:</strong> When your nonprofit registered with the Secretary of State, it will protect your name to use by others and give legal protection. On the other hand, a trademark is an owned property of unique brand, allowing exclusive rights to the trademark.</p>
<p><strong>Cost analysis-</strong>The cost for registering business name is less than 50$.The cost for state<strong>–</strong>level trademark is about 100$. In both cases, you should have to apply through the Secretary of State. Although trademark cost is so high with complicated application procedure, but it secures high legal strength in the field of nonprofit industry.</p>
<p><strong>Federal tax ID (EIN):</strong> If you want to pursue incorporation or 501(c)(3) status, you need a federal tax ID (EIN). If you have a plan to pay your employee or want to become a 501(c) (3) holder, an EIN (Employer Identification Number) is required. It will help for filing aspects of incorporation.</p>
<p><strong>Cost analysis-</strong>To get an EIN is free so being aware about the sites who ask a fee for an EIN.</p>
<p><strong>501(C)(3), Tax-exempt status:</strong> Section 501(c) of the United States provides that some federal income taxes are exempt for 29 types of nonprofit organizations. If your organization has a long-term mission and officially established, then you have to pay attention on fundraising where 501(c)(3) status will give you a wider avenue to raise funds for your nonprofit. Although fundraising is a biggest challenge for nonprofits, but 501(c)(3) status gives you extra support by which your nonprofit gets tax-exemption. It is also mentionable that you don’t need to incorporate to be eligible for 501(c)(3) but incorporation is a plus to getting tax-exempt status.</p>
<p><strong>Cost analysis-</strong> It may vary from state to state but usually it 75$-100$</p>
<p><strong>Basic insurance coverage:</strong> It is an important issue for a nonprofit to buy insurance. All nonprofits should need to purchase some kind of insurance, like General Liability Insurance, Property Insurance, Auto Insurance, Product Liability Insurance etc. An exact cost varies wildly according to your insurance structure.</p>
<p><strong>Cost Analysis-</strong> Cost varies $800–1,500 <em>(General Liability only)</em></p>
<p><strong>Website:</strong> Now a day, every nonprofit need a website as it is a useful tool for fundraising. A website connects your nonprofit with millions of folks who have an intention to make a difference. Nonprofits should make a website that looks great and is easy to use, but they also need to inspire visitors to take action and support their programs. Therefore, you should consider a good amount for your website design and maintenance.</p>
<p><strong>Cost Analysis-</strong> Typical cost 50$ – 3000$ for website design and a yearly maintenance cost including domain and hosting charge. While we discussed about expenditure to start nonprofits, we can consider below resources which might be help you to cut your expenditure partly or full.</p>

Our work is based on the transdisciplinary approach and the principle of biomimicry in order to strengthen the links between education and sustainability through symbiotic links between nature and human culture. The concept of biomimicry seeks to understand the operating principles of life in order to mimic nature in the reformulation of new sustainable human production systems with the biosphere. In this sense, the 2nd Congress of GCED of January in Paris, the World Education Forum of Incheon in May, and the Millennium Summit of New York in September, that UNESCO and the UN will celebrate with their partners in 2015 (in occasion of its 70th anniversary), offer an important opportunity for the emerging global citizenship to change the rules and introduce the foundations of another model of production and consumption. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify international agreements on environmental and sustainable development, to make a specific contribution for the post-2015 eco-political-educational strategic framework. It is, in short, innovative research that seeks to integrate eco-ethics as a pedagogical practice in the implementation of the GCED: identifying the vital axises that constitute the interdependence of ecosystems to make a biomimetic application in social, political, and educational structures of human systems.</span></span></span></span></p>

<p><span>§<span> </span></span><b>Resource Overview Statement:</b></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><i><span>Recent trends have called for the “globalizing” of American education through 21st Century teaching and learning and the Common Core State Standards. These educational demands coincide with efforts in the history profession to internationalize the United States history survey course. Combined, these two paradigm shifts have generated demand to construct and teach histories that are rigorous and relevant to college and career readiness. Globalizing history education, therefore, involves an “opening” of students’ conceptions of the past through expanded content, broader methodology, and units of analysis that go beyond the nation. Preparing history teachers to do this is integral to the longevity and success of global</span></i><span> <i>education. This project addresses gaps in thought leadership and the scarcity of professional development programs dedicated to globalizing the U.S. history survey.</i></span></p>

<p></p>
<p>Pace University in the US has been leading two projects to prepare computer science students to the local and global IT labor market. The annual global software development (GSD) project unites students from different countries to develop software together. Recently the focus has been on developing mobile apps instead of web apps. MobileSenegal is an initiative for capacity building in mobile app development that started in Senegal in 2008. Senegalese developers integrated the GSD project in 2009. Developing deployable software has been one of the challenges of the GSD project. In this presentation, we will describe the 2009 GSD project that united developers in the US, Senegal and India in the development of a mobile app for first grade pupils in Senegal. The goal was to develop the app and pilot it in a school in Senegal to get feedback and improve it. The pilot eventually took place in 2012 and the results show that, while pupils and teachers were enthusiastic, the mobile app did not respond to the needs of first grade pupils. Developers made assumptions that caused the app to be challenging for children. We will describe the app, our model to integrate the app in primary schools, and our evaluation plan. The project has been taken further, and the lessons learned have permitted to develop several apps that are more appropriate for Senegalese primary school pupils and for the Senegalese curriculum.</p>

<p><br/><strong>Full Session Description (one paragraph minimum): </strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>Human trafficking is an international problem that penetrates every society on the globe. Trafficking in children for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation, forced labor, and domestic servitude occurs in every state of the United States. Education is key in human trafficking prevention. This study reveals the lack of proper knowledge of the issue among American students and seeks to mend this shortcoming through the creation and implementation of a holistic anti-trafficking advocacy curriculum that not only informs and motivates students towards advocacy, but also meets Colorado state academic standards. Case studies using sixth grade students in Denver show the impact that such a curriculum has, not only on knowledge gained, but student empowerment and civic responsibility through advocacy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The author analyzes the impact of the Aware Curriculum through diagnostic/formative and summative assessments, classroom observation, and written assessments to gauge knowledge, comprehension of key concepts, and student thought processes about anti-trafficking advocacy. Findings show that students of various skills-sets and learning levels are able to gain a deeper understanding of human trafficking, relate personally to the issue, and create practical methods for anti-trafficking advocacy in their schools and communities.</p>

<p>Graduate credits: 3</p>
<p><br/>The culminating event of the course is participation in the Global Education Conference in November 2012.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Description and Purpose of the Course</strong><br/> Meaningful and learning-rich collaborative projects between classrooms have been thriving for more than a decade with the growing availability and reliability of Internet and mobile connectivity. In this course, we will explore the educational advantages of exposing our students to new cultures, perspectives and cross-cultural communication. We will examine a variety of existing projects as well as the various tools and online platforms that exist to support them. Project management approaches will also be presented and discussed. Many educational organizations sponsor and support such projects, while a number of educators have found partners for projects independently through their own personal learning networks. Course participants will be challenged to choose and plan a short-term project with the aid of technology and social media tools that will support the educational goals and standards of their specific learner group and subject area.<br/><br/> The coursework is designed around the ISTE NETS teacher standards for collaboration, creativity and innovation, information fluency, critical thinking and digital citizenship. At the end of the course, participants will have gained a better appreciation of the rationale for global collaborative projects and a working knowledge of some of the technology tools that are available to facilitate such projects. They will have explored the planning and implementation of a small-scope project. Coursework will involve reading, sharing, and exploring articles, blogs and products from existing global collaborative projects as well as their ongoing development of their own project.</p></div>

<p><font color="#000000"><font face="Times, serif"><font size="3">THE VALUE OF GLOBAL EDUCATION AS AN ENGINE TO PROMOTE POVERTY ERADICATION AND TO ACHIEVE A SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT</font></font></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"> </font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"><font face="Times, serif"><font size="3">The present recommendation for discussion intends to create a holist vision of education. In fact, we believe this is imperative to be dialogued with the international community of Rio+20, because it represents the basis of all moral values of the global citizenship. For this reason, we propose a reform in global educational with a humanistic and philanthropic vision that intends to achieve sustainable development and poverty eradication, while also contributing to the others Millennium Development Goals (MDG).</font></font></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"> </font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"><font face="Times, serif"><font size="3">As stated in article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 by the United Nations, education was declared a Human Right:</font></font></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">“</font><em><font color="#000000"><font face="Times, serif"><font size="3"><span>1) Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit.</span></font></font></font></em></p>
<p><em><font color="#000000"><font face="Times, serif"><font size="3"><span>2) Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial or religious groups, and shall further the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace.</span></font></font></font></em></p>
<p><em><font color="#000000"><font face="Times, serif"><font size="3"><span>3) Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children.</span></font></font></font></em><font color="#000000"><font face="Times, serif"><font size="3">”</font></font></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"> </font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"><font face="Times, serif"><font size="3">This proposal seeks to increase the previously stated Human Right. Because we live in a world where our decisions and actions affect others on a global scale, we must acknowledge and accept the notion of global citizenship. Young people are the inheritors of global change and for that reason the values and attitudes instilled in their education now will have an effect on the way global matters are addressed in the future. Therefore, 21st Century citizenship need a global education in order to see the future as their own evolution as a specie, without any type of ethnocentrism.</font></font></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"><font face="Times, serif"><font size="3">But, how could global education contribute to achieve sustainable development and poverty eradication?</font></font></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"><font face="Times, serif"><font size="3">Firstly, by creating a new multi, inter and trans-disciplinary subject for formal education, in primary and secondary school: “</font></font></font><em><font color="#000000"><font face="Times, serif"><font size="3"><span>Education for Life</span></font></font></font></em><font color="#000000"><font face="Times, serif"><font size="3">”, we could integrate the MDG in theoretical and practical contents of the educational curriculum in all United Nations countries. This material must articulate and support cultural, transversal and innovative methodologies through multi, inter and trans-disciplinary contents, because the understanding of the MDG in a global world requires the development of different skills such as natural sciences and human sciences.</font></font></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"><font face="Times, serif"><font size="3">To integrate the MDG into the educational concepts does not mean creating a homogeneous education or westernizing the education, because all of the governments which participate in the UN will have to readapt the MDG in the educational contents, according to their diversity and historical-cultural characteristics.</font></font></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"><font face="Times, serif"><font size="3">Now is the time to discuss a new education that forms awareness of our global citizenship. How could we attempt to achieve the MDG if our states/countries do not integrate those contents in their educational curriculum? Is it possible to develop this awareness which achieves a sustainable development and poverty eradication, if we do not teach them with the same democratic moral values?</font></font></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"> </font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"><font face="Times, serif"><font size="3">Secondly, while building an awareness of global citizenship, we could view informal and no formal education as an engine of change to create a peaceful society though international cooperation. Why not articulate a social network based on helping the most needy people? Could our governments create a new international service of volunteers which is equivalent to the military service in terms of national duty? This could be one of the most beautiful pieces of humanistic education and philanthropic actions to achieve the MDG.</font></font></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"> </font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"><font face="Times, serif"><font size="3">Third, we propose a reform of multi, inter and trans-disciplinary education reform in the curricula of the universities in all the countries that are part of the United Nations, in order to teach “reading the world” through a new academic graduation: “wordlogy”. An innovate proposal with a humanistic vision to increase citizenship of 21st century awareness of the new paradigms that exist in the current era of globalization. In addition, wordlogy should be taught with the same curricular contents in all universities in different countries, giving the opportunity for students to study this new degree each year in each country, since the only way to be conscious of the economical, political and cultural dynamics that are successful in this inter-relational world is simply by traveling. Therefore, this new academic degree supplies an instructional tool to achieve citizens participation in the creation of a humanistic and global thought, founded in the progress and evolution of human beings as species: </font></font></font><em><font color="#000000"><font face="Times, serif"><font size="3"><span>the homo concienciatus, </span></font></font></font></em><font color="#000000"><font face="Times, serif"><font size="3">which could achieve the MDG.</font></font></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"> </font></p>
<p><strong><font color="#000000"><font face="Times, serif"><font size="3"><span>For all these reasons, we want to create a democratic debate in Rio+20 in order to attend to the global problems from an educational perspective, because we think that this is the basic way to achieve the MDG: creating a global citizenship based on philanthropic and humanistic moral values. And to those proposals the United Nations, as a supranational institution, has to articulate new ways for the different countries to restructurate their educational systems, in order to achieve the MDG. </span></font></font></font></strong></p>
<p><font color="#000000"> </font></p>
<p><strong><font color="#000000"><font face="Times, serif"><font size="3"><span>Will it be possible to create global citizens if the governments which signed the MDG in theoretical framework do not put any change into practice? We have remember that the world in which we are living, it is not a gift from our parents, if not a borrow from our children, and what will they think if we do not do all we have in our hands to improve the world? Thinking in sustainable development future is also thinking about our children.</span></font></font></font></strong></p>
<p><font color="#000000"> </font></p>
<p><strong><font color="#000000"><font face="Times, serif"><font size="3"><span>Please, vote for this proposal so that we mwy talk about global education in Rio+20 debates on June 16-19</span></font></font></font></strong><strong><font color="#000000"><sup><font face="Times, serif"><font size="3"><span>th</span></font></font></sup></font></strong><strong><font color="#000000"><font face="Times, serif"><font size="3"><span>.</span></font></font></font></strong></p>

<p>From Abu Dhabi, to Japan to Arizona, a growing number of educators are joining the P2PU School of Education. The School of Ed brings the model of open, community-based peer learning to professional development for K-12 teachers. It is about hands-on learning driven by each educator's particular needs and classroom situations. It's about connecting, collaborating, and creating, not just reading or studying, on topics such as OER, Social Media for Deeper Learning, Differentiated Instruction and Writing. In this session participants will learn about P2PU, case studies of global collaborations via P2PU, our initial impact and how to get involved.</p>
<p>The Peer 2 Peer University is a grassroots open education project that organizes learning outside of institutional walls and gives learners recognition for their achievements. P2PU creates a model for lifelong learning alongside traditional formal higher education. Leveraging the Internet and educational materials openly available online, P2PU enables high-quality low-cost education opportunities. P2PU – learning for everyone, by everyone about almost everything.</p>
