【Course Objectives】

This course is an introduction to global citizenship education which aims at creating the conditions for students to feel at ease with collective action in international and complex environments. To do so, it will be based on four objectives: 1) acquiring the basic knowledge in citizenship education (theories, concepts, and authors), so as to be capable of understanding and analyzing evolving situations, from a sociological perspective; 2) being confronted to the diversity of international events, from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives, so as to acquire global competence and comparative analytical skills; 3) acquiring or improving academic skills and critical thinking, beyond the field of citizenship; 4) practicing English through collective and issue-centered discussion. It will be assumed that the classroom is a safe space where everybody can share his/her opinion freely on the debated topics.

【Course Contents】

Course content will be focusing on two interconnected elements. First, each session will be dedicated to a theme that revolves around essential and international issues related to citizenship (22 topics in total). Students will be required to learn about the main concepts and theories, through documents provided by the teacher and text commentaries destined to be shared with others. Second, each session will be focusing on practicing critical thinking: greater importance will be given to oral presentation and collective discussion on critical issues. For example, students will be asked to propose personal analyses to the class, based on both class content and knowledge taken outside of class, in order to help everyone feeling at ease with the inherent complexity of international issues. A presentation schedule will be determined in the beginning of the semester, to make sure which contributions will be expected from everyone.
