This 5-week online program is targeted at high school teachers at state and private schools across Argentina. It has been developed in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goal 4.7, which requires countries to develop global citizenship for all learners by 2030. Participants will be introduced to the main elements of global education and relevant sub themes such as global learning and global citizenship education. They will be encouraged to relate these notions to the reality of their own local context and explore active and participatory approaches to help advance global education locally and internationally. By the end of the program, participants will be able to apply their learning to the design of a potential international telecollaborative project on a topic of their choice.
