Content – Focus on global challenges

In this last section, we can find the global challenges in which we are going to reflect during this subject. That’s why during the growth of my personal blog I am going to reflect on how we, as teachers, can face challenges such as globalization, tolerance, identity, collaboration, sustainability, tolerance or innovation.

Challenge 1: How does globalization challenge us as professionals in education?

Challenge 2: How do we cope with cultural dilemmas in an increasingly globalized world?

Challenge 3: What tools can we use to improve an open mind in the cultural meeting?

Challenge 4: How to learn from each other in education (focus on exchange, cooperation and inspiration)?

Challenge 5: How to educate for sustainable development in a globalized world?
