Invitation: How to teach complex global issues ethically? Discussion event on Wed 18^th Sept 4pm

How to deal with complex global issues such as power relations and global inequalities when teaching for sustainable development? Do you want to be inspired and find ways to put this into practice? Welcome to Fingo’s discussion event on ethical global issues pedagogy on Wednesday 18^th September 4-6 pm to Fingo’s office (Elimäenkatu 25-27, Helsinki).

The discussion will be opened by guest speaker, Dr. Karen Pashby (Manchester metropolitan University), who together with Louis Sund (Mälardalen University) developed a resource for educators in order to help them to address the difficult questions about global inequalities that are at the heart of today’s pressing global issues.

A common concern in their work was the tendency of most ESD (eg. Anderson et al., 2016, Karyia, 2012) and GCE (eg. Andreotti & Souza, 2012) approaches to, despite good intentions, reproduce unequal colonial systems of power in how global issues are framed and taught. The resource presents guiding principles and specific activities for bridging global citizenship education and education for sustainable development to support educators in how they facilitate global learning.

Register for the event by Monday 16^th September at the latest to ella.rouhe@fingo.fi. The language of the event is English. There will be coffee and vegetarian snacks provided. Let us know if you have special dietary requirements!
