Sharing Awareness needs two parts – our actions in authentic environment actions have two partners who have something to bring for input and something to develop.

Lessons we learnt since 1990 is that The Wisdom of the Crowds makes Changes for Good happen.

Join MKFC and Eva Kagiri when she has a story to tell.

Eva Kagiri is working in MKFC Helsinki College and started activities in Kenya. Her description in the workshop is one of good histories from diasporas. Eva and her followers need support from all of us, ordinary people, governments, European Union, NGOs, microfinance institutions etc to get funding and make the changes sustainable.

Sharing Awareness puts Teacher Training in Service. It means that learning happens in schools. The theory is online and creating a global ICT4D environment to the local reality. The method itself combines local environment straight ahead and adds the best global practices that can be used in the whole school directly.

Immigration, citizenship and education for global responsibility
Global responsibility presupposes equal participation of citizens. This being said, the workshop focuses on research on citizenship education contents and performance. If educated in citizenship, individuals are capable of contributing to sustainable development, which, in turn, emanates in democratic working methods and attitudes. Thereby citizenship education is an ideological project – not only aiming at providing young people (and teachers) in Europe with necessary competences for a life in a multicultural and global world. It is also a means to lay the ground for a sense of community and collective identity within the European Union.

Citizenship education is not merely about transferring values and attitudes via the national school system, but about transforming them so that they harmonize with supranational ideological goals. Still, schools in different countries operate under institutional logics, some with contradictory or conflicting demands for educational continuity and change, national pride and global responsibility or how ‘to think globally and act locally’. In short: how does one move from political rhetoric to pedagogical practice?
