Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education

The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education is expanding global citizenship education.

On the 25th, the Office announced that on the 26th, it will hold a workshop at the Seongnam National Institute for International Education for about 80 participants, including teachers from 25 schools practicing global citizenship education and education support office supervisors.

Schools practicing global citizenship education focus on the 3C curriculum: ▲Curriculum linkage ▲Culture of global citizenship awareness ▲Community linkage of human and material resources.

At the workshop, the Office will discuss the use of edutech in global citizenship education, curriculum-linked global citizenship education, practical cases by elementary and secondary school levels, and strategies for field implementation.

There will also be presentations on global citizenship education projects using films, social networking services (SNS), news debates, campaigns, and digital tools, centered on themes of hate and discrimination.

Cases from practice schools utilizing local resources will also be shared, including the design of coexistence spaces for migrant workers and indigenous people, and plans for revitalizing vacant houses in the community that embody understanding of diverse cultures and the value of peaceful coexistence.

Seo Eun-kyung, Director of Life and Character Education at the Office, stated, "We will support global citizenship education connected with local communities through providing a pool of leading global citizenship education teachers, strengthening teacher competencies, and cooperating with related local organizations."
