"There is no more powerful transformative force than education - to promote human rights and dignity, to eradicate poverty and deepen sustainability, to build a better future for all, founded on equal rights and social justice, respect for cultural diversity, and international solidarity and shared responsibility, all of which are fundamental aspects of our common humanity."
Irina Bokova, UNESCO Director General. Rethinking Education: Towards a Global Good (December 2015), http://www.unesco.org/new/fileadmin/MULTIMEDIA/FIELD/Cairo/images/RethinkingEducation.pdf
With the new Get Ready for Global Teaching! project at PH Karlsruhe, we institutionalize and expand our international collaborations. With our partners in Ghana, Israel, Cameroon, Lao P.D.R., Norway, the UK and the USA, we will focus on global inequality, colonial thought patterns, and post-migrant societies. Through direct exchange, future teachers will further develop their cultural and linguistic awareness, reflect on key issues and challenges of our time from a global perspective, and design educational processes in diversity- and discrimination-sensitive ways.
