Описание курса/тренинга

Background

Our society faces challenges and threats that require collective efforts from the international community to solve the problems and to transform our world to make it a more just, peaceful, and sustainable place for all. Recognizing these challenges, in September 2015, the global community has adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defining the global priorities and aspirations for 2030. Target 4.7 of SDGs in particular has highlighted the importance of fostering global citizenship and following this momentum, promoting Global Citizenship Education (GCED) became a global educational target and has been creating multiplying effects among various stakeholders.

GCED aims to be transformative, equipping leaners of all ages with the values, knowledge and skills that reflect and instill respect for human rights, social justice, diversity, gender equality and sustainability. The United Nations Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) indicates that “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.” To be an active global citizen, understanding human rights as fundamental and universal value and acting on it is crucial to initiate diverse changes and address social issues. Youth, as an active agent in promoting global citizenship with their creativity and potential to bring changes to society, should and can affirm their roles as key contributors in achieving more equal and inclusive society for all human beings.

In this context, the Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU) is committed to empowering youth by providing a platform where young people can meet, share, and work together to drive changes towards a Culture of Peace at various levels. The Youth Leadership Workshop on GCED, organized by APCEIU, has been held annually since 2016 in collaboration with partners including GCED Youth Network. The 5th Youth Leadership Workshop on GCED in 2019 will focus on developing effective strategies to maximize youth contribution in achieving SDG 4.7 through promotion of global citizenship and human rights. Held in Seoul, the Workshop will invite 40 dynamic youth leaders around the world, including those from developing countries and representatives of marginalized groups, and the participating youth will be fully engaged in dialogue and capacity-building training for five days.

Objectives

1. To deepen youth leaders’ understanding of global citizenship and human rights
2. To provide a forum for participating youth leaders to discuss and establish action plans suitable for the implementation of GCED at local, national, and regional levels
3. To identify innovative youth-led initiatives on GCED in different regions

Expected Outcomes

1. Youth participants’ capacity enhanced in implementing GCED at local and global levels
2. Increased commitment of youth participants in fostering global citizenship and human rights
3. Action plans developed by sub-groups for the implementation of follow-up activities
4. Regional youth initiatives identified in cooperation with the GCED Youth Network
