In week 1, I have learnt that in this week we are going to learn the 3 underlying principles of this module. Which are
1. Teaching is
based on research and evidence.
2. Lived
experiences as valuable sources of knowledge.
3. Dialogue is the
basis for critical education.

In this lecture the first and the foremost thing I learnt was the understanding of global development. Equal societies tends to report higher expectancy and fewer social problems such as violence, mental illness, bullying, and people are facing many difficulties, especially among teenagers including teenage pregnancy. According to Unicef the equality correlates with the trust, social cohesion and empathy among the citizens.

The key concepts which were explained are:

1.      Globalization:

Very common concept used in many fields. The World is interconnected, interaction is not limited, just like in these classes I have interacted with students from all over the World, learnt many new things and expressed my opinions which has benefited me and has enhanced my knowledge to utilize my skills in teaching.

2.      Developments

It was learnt how a country is developing globally, and how citizens are moving to advancements in education, information technology, agriculture, food production, and socio-economic growth.

3.      Decolonization

I have learnt that how people move from one country to another globally in search of jobs and to pursue their education. In my case I have got the opportunity to study abroad, which in enhancing my teaching skills and modifying my teaching methodologies.

4.      Education

In this module I have studied many types of education such as peace education, intercultural education, human rights education, environmental education. Apart from this I have studied the sustainable development goals, anti-racist education and climate change education.

5.      Pedagogy

In this I have come to know many new terminologies, such as critical pedagogy, transformative learning, and post-colonial and de-colonial theories.

In week 2, the topic explained was key polices across context. I have learnt with a help of an example about the cargo ship at Dublin. How interestingly it was related and explained to us in reference of key polices across different context. If there’s someone who is navigating these interaction between different contexts and levels of policy making. Policy plays an important role in implementing policy making and help globally. Now here as I learned how the captain of the cargo has the information of each part and has complete information about where to sail in which direction to sail and how to sail similarly what I get from the lectures and my understanding to this specific topic is that if I relate this with my profession i.e. teaching, teachers should have a complete command on the subject they are teaching and the context they are going to explain and the policy making in this reference is that teachers should do the lesson planning before starting any topic because lesson planning is the vital component for teaching and when the lesson planning is there an outline is present in front of them that how they are going to manage everything and in how much time they are going to cover.

In the lecture I started understanding from the historical context: policy as a state in action, it is a social construction of humanity. We human are wondering on this planet since years ago. If moving to the history in 12000 BCE we focuses on the  evidence of the sedentism, than moving to 6000 BCE the evidence of permanent towns started taking place. Later 3000BCE we had territorial statelets, shang dynasty, roman empire, leviathan hobbles, later in 1854 UCD was formed and today 2020 we are studying at present of global development. Furthermore I’ve learned about the academic debate and human debate talking about people who are producing the knowledge and discussing about educational policy in development education.

In week 3, the main focus of the week was on the topic of SDG’s and educational policies for development in which we I learned a new word “Anthropocene” which means a time period in which human activities  had an environmental impact on the Earth. We studied about the part of the anthropocene on the Earth from 1750 to 2000. If focusing on one specific extinction we can observer that past 5 centuries we had different species of animals on this planet i.e. vertebrates, invertebrates, other vertebrates, birds, mammals etc.

We studies about the most interesting and important question that what will be the future of life on this planet? In reference to this question we studied about the sustainable development goals. But basically when we talk about sustainable development goals so we have three basic pillars i.e. social, environmental, and economic. In this we studied that “we indigenous people have been resisting for 500 years. What I am worried about is whether white people will resist (Ailton Krenak) because of attacks and people suffering all over the world.

Solutions to all these issues and how we can overcome these social, environmental and economic crisis. For all these issues sustainable development goals were considered to be the most important steps that is taken into account by different governments, organizations etc. which deal with the anthropocene or else we can say this is the last attempt we can take to resist on the planet Earth.

In week 4, the main topic of this week is climate change in which we will focus on the big global issues their impacts on us and how we can overcome these issues which polices and measures we can take. And how we can foster and facilitates life on Earth. Focusing on the above topic we will take the 6th sustainable development goal into account i.e. “clean water and sanitation” this is the foremost thing we should focus to have clean water to stay healthy and to survive on this planet Earth and for this purpose we should reduce pollutions, avoid dumping waste materials in the water and also the harmful and poisonous chemicals coming from the factories and going directly in to the water thus giving and diminishing marine life and making water polluted and unsafe for drinking.  And we should stop wasting water if we will waste water this will ultimately lead to water scarcity which has an effects of more than 40% of the world populations.

Today the population is not getting clean water to drink. Apart from this issue we also focuses on the 7th sustainable development goals which is the affordable and clean energy. Use only energy efficient appliances and light bulbs. At present still there are areas where there is lack of electricity they are not advance and thus faces many difficulties along with that if we focus on the 11th sustainable development i.e. sustainable cities and communities. SDG goals focuses on the development of the sustainable cities because still there are many developing cities were citizens use bike, walk or use of public transportation and due to more use of cars, buses etc. harmful gases are been ejected out and thus these gases are accumulating in the atmosphere making the air polluted and unsafe for citizens to inhale. Almost 9 out 10 urban residents are inhaling polluted air. The 14 sustainable development goal i.e. life below water is also another important issue to focus on because over 3 billion people depend on marine and coastal biodiversity for their live hood to make them safe we should avoid throwing pollution such as  plastic bags etc. in to the water to keep the oceans clean.

In 5th week the main focus was on the topic poverty and inequality which means the complete distribution of well-being is concerned with inequality; poverty only focuses on the bottom end of the distribution-those that fell below the poverty line. For the topic poverty and inequality we have focused on three main sustainable development goals i.e. 1stSDG is end poverty in all its forms and from everywhere 5th SDG is to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls 10th SDG is to reduce inequality within and among countries. We have to take into notice how to reduce all these issues related to poverty so by 2030 the most important goals which we have to achieve, for that purpose we have some policies to focus on among them the first and foremost is to reduce the extreme poverty from everywhere, the second one is to reduce at least half of the proportion from everywhere and finally to have implementations to protect the system and take precautionary measures to overcome all these issues. Globally if we all that steps to reduce poverty we can lead to a successful world.

The next issue is to resolve the issues related to gender inequality for that purpose we have to achieve some policies. The first thing is to reduce the discrimination against all the girls and women everywhere. Secondly to reduce all types of violations against all women and girls everywhere. Finally to reduce all harmful practices etc.

In 10th week I have learnt about the future of Global development education. The most effective force that you can use to transform the world is knowledge. Undoubtedly, education is an important way for citizens to understand their capacities and is a stimulus for the country as a whole to grow. Global Development Education is a lifelong experience that allows us to understand the disparities and parallels between people's lives in developing and developed countries and helps us to understand the economic social, political, environmental and cultural mechanisms that influence them.

The world must then understand how immense the need for knowledge is. Training for Sustainable Prosperity should then be put at the top of the global growth agenda. This is because schooling, from local to global, is far more than just school. Classroom education today educates children not only in their own cultures, but also instills ideals and ideas and equips people with the skills required internationally in a number of ways. Achieving quality education is the basis for improving life and development. Simple literacy skills have advanced in many countries, but much more needs to be achieved as bolder measures are required to meet universal education targets. In today's world, software is used freely as an innovative and inventive instrument in education technique. Technology, however, can not be limited to advanced countries alone, but must instead travel to other areas of the world as it can be immensely inspiring when used in a meaningful way.

Global education should initiate the following: Universalization of enrolment in primary education. Education has to hit every village. We need to ensure that all girls complete at least secondary education, and that a girl educates a family. Via education, we will promote gender equality and encourage all women and girls to have a voice, discourage child marriage and chose the size of their families.

In 8th week the main focus was on the topic democracy and justice. A democracy requires being ruled by the people. The name is used for various systems of governance, in which citizens can take part in decisions affecting the way their society is run. The individuals nominate their presidents. This decision on laws is made by those officials. Representative government is generally called this. We need democracy because this guarantees the proper running of the government since it is individuals who nominate them and thus makes them more responsible. Democracy is focused on decision-making and negotiation. People negotiate and take decisions together and this increases the consistency of judgment. In a culture where people belonging to different castes, sects and groups live together, discrepancies are expected to take place. Democracy offers a stable approach to this issue when everybody follows and honors decisions made with mutual consensus.

The main features of democracy are: Only representatives chosen by individuals govern the country. (ii) Individuals have the right to articulate their thoughts.

Importance of democracy, democracy has gained popularity as it is the people's law where all rights and freedoms are granted, they are required to vote for their representative, and the government is then responsible for their poor decisions.

I’ve also learnt about the merits and demerits of democracy some of them are as follows: MERITS:

1.      The standard of decision making is strengthened by democracy.

2.      Democracy is a means of coping with disagreements and disputes.

3.      A democratic state is a stronger democracy and it is a more responsible system of government.

4.      Democracy encourages persons to correct their own errors.

5.      People govern themselves in a democracy, as a representative is chosen by them.

DEMERITS:

1.      Democracy is all about electoral competitiveness and gambling for money. Morality should not have any potential for.

2.      Consultation by multiple citizens in a democracy causes delays.

3.      Failure to consider the people's best interests of political officials leads to weak decision-making

4.      Democracy relates to abuse because it is focused on political competition.

In 7th week I have learnt about the migration conflict and peace building. So, via government policy, and also through democratic society peace mechanisms and informal consultation, collaboration and consultation, peace-building efforts aim to handle, minimize, resolve and transform core facets of conflict. Peace building is an approach to a whole series of interrelated peace-building initiatives. My understanding about conflict is that conflict is characterized as a conflict between people resulting from a difference in the process of thinking, beliefs, understanding, desires, demands, and sometimes even expectations.

At times migration leads to conflicts. The rise in the amount of migrants will lead in several different ways to tensions in migrant-receiving regions. This vary from rivalry for natural and economic resources, to ethnic tensions, to socio-economic tensions, to infrastructure and utility pressures. Conflict and peace are inter-related, the lack of overt conflict refers to negative harmony. The positive peace refers to the utter lack of implicit and grownups. Migration is important because for the conversion of manpower and expertise, migration is essential and provides the requisite knowledge and creativity for global development. It is important to strengthen international cooperation in order to solve the challenges posed by global migration.

6 of the most important sources of forced migration are: Drought, Hunger, Flooding, Earthquakes, War and conflicts, economic circumstances. The influx of migrants is not only a result of political turmoil; the presence of refugees and migrant people will also raise the likelihood of violence in the countries of origin and host countries. The link between refugees and violence is verified by an econometric review of civil war since the mid-20th century. We can resolve this issue via official diplomacy, as well as through civil society peace mechanisms and informal consultation, collaboration and mediation, peace-building efforts aim to handle, minimize, resolve and transform core facets of conflict. Peace building is an approach to a whole series of interrelated peace-building initiatives.

In 9th week I have learnt about global citizenship is the belief that one's personality transcends regional or political limits is global citizenship and that obligations or rights are born from inclusion of a larger class:' humanity.'

Importance: Global Citizenship, everywhere they reside, nurtures personal love and respect for others. It allows people to think profoundly and seriously about what is right and just and what is going to mitigate damage to our world.

Effect of global citizenship on the world, Global people, through the acts they take, have an effect on ending extreme poverty. The consequences of small decisions are not necessarily apparent, but concrete and meaningful benefits are obtained by working together. The voices of global people affect world leaders and policy makers and continue to shape our world.

Global citizenship education Global citizenship education encourages young people to build key competencies that encourage them to effectively interact with the world and commit to making it a more just and prosperous environment. This same educational findings train students to be successful in the 21st century workplace as well.

Significant attribute of global citizenship, Global people try to learn and show empathy for other persons. In their choices, their decisions, and their words, global people behave equally. Global citizens think they are just as important as anybody else. Global people are persuaded that all persons are equal.

We can become a better global citizen by Creating an options that are greener. Recycling, waste prevention, saving electricity, and conserving water all reduce the environmental effects. They're learning a foreign language ensures that you develop an understanding and perspective that you would not have had before in other cultures. Volunteer to support a local foundation or one that partners with charities abroad. Traveling is one of the easiest opportunities to travel the world, first-hand to learn and encounter diverse cultures and national problems, as well as to make new friends. A perfect way to become a better global citizen is to educate yourself on what's going on in the planet. Education is only ever a swipe away with a plethora of outlets right at our fingertips.

In 6th week I have learnt about human rights abuses and violation. Firstly we should understand what human violation is so there is an infringement of economic, social and cultural rights where a State fails to perform its duty to guarantee that it is enjoyed without prejudice or its duty to respect, protect and fulfill it. Some of the human violations are such as Forcible sterilization for underage girls with disabilities. Forced vaginal checkups of Young girls. Child Slavery after the Revolution in Manufacturing. The Western World in Oppression. About the Holocaust. Trafficking in Modern Women etc. Apart from this the three   main causes of human violation are among the root origins of each type of ambiguity and heterogeneity are abuses of human rights. If good government is not assured, the impartial rule of law and substantive social justice and growth will cause violence, as well as business, political and social unrest. These factors are linked to underdevelopment, to economic strains, to different social issues, to foreign circumstances. Yes, the origins of repression, injustice and other denials of human rights derive from political, social and economic issues that are broader and more complicated. So the main agenda is to overcome all these issues to move towards a better nation. The following steps we can take such as Know your freedom. Appropriate awareness of human rights is the first way to deter abuses of human rights. Never give yourself a bribe. Insist for the rights you have. Start educating the rapist. Be willing to devote your time. When you are violated, never let go. Reveal and publish your experience with the offender. Challenge the breach in court. I have also learnt that according to universal declaration human rights are to the right to be free from slavery, to live a life from discriminations.
