What is global education/Interculturality?
Students today are facing a global society which is interconnected. This necessitates global and cultural integration skills along with competences in digital literacies to become successful global citizens. We see how eTwinning promotes these skills and thus its importance in the school curriculum.
A short study was conducted to elicit the perceptions of teachers in eTwinning about global education.The results show that teachers perceive eTwinning as contributing towards the enhancement and development of global education through intercultural interaction. This study has confirmed the importance of equipping students with twenty-first century skills as global citizens as well as indicating challenges which need to be addressed to enhance globalisation as a dynamic concept.
