International Mindedness by Miriam van Heist https://padlet.com/miriamvanheist77/m3zrw985m924 How do you bring that about through education? en-us 2018-08-16 13:26:14 UTC 2024-06-01 16:11:52 UTC hello@padlet.com 1. I think of International Mindedness as 'being able to consider issues from different social/cultural perspectives, not just your own' miriamvanheist77 https://padlet.com/miriamvanheist77/m3zrw985m924/wish/273471928 2018-08-16 13:33:09 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamvanheist77/m3zrw985m924/wish/273471928 2. A Global Citizen is someone whose interests are aligned with those of all human beings, regardless where they live in the world. Being part of humanity is more important than being the citizen of a particular nation or continen miriamvanheist77 https://padlet.com/miriamvanheist77/m3zrw985m924/wish/273472603 2018-08-16 13:35:06 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamvanheist77/m3zrw985m924/wish/273472603 3. I do not know from experience how schools prepare students to become global citizens, and I am eager to find out more about this. miriamvanheist77 https://padlet.com/miriamvanheist77/m3zrw985m924/wish/273473479 2018-08-16 13:37:43 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamvanheist77/m3zrw985m924/wish/273473479 4. This is not a classroom experience, but I have presented insights from participatory research with local forest communities in Indonesia in a film and poster series, to be able to voice the views of less vocal and accessible people to land use planners. Only when we hear what others have to say and, in this case, what priorities they have can they be taken into account miriamvanheist77 https://padlet.com/miriamvanheist77/m3zrw985m924/wish/273474735 2018-08-16 13:41:49 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamvanheist77/m3zrw985m924/wish/273474735 5. To help students understand how important it is to have international understanding, I would look for stories of international agreements that really have made a difference (biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation). Another way could be to highlight problems that have arosen in the absence of international understanding, e.g. regarding management of watersheds that span more than one country, or wildlife roaming across borders. miriamvanheist77 https://padlet.com/miriamvanheist77/m3zrw985m924/wish/273476551 2018-08-16 13:47:13 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamvanheist77/m3zrw985m924/wish/273476551 6. I have no experience carrying out activities in a class that highlight international-mindedness? :-( Hope to get inspired by others in this course! miriamvanheist77 https://padlet.com/miriamvanheist77/m3zrw985m924/wish/273477783 2018-08-16 13:51:25 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamvanheist77/m3zrw985m924/wish/273477783 Appreciating one's educational experience in a global context miriamvanheist77 https://padlet.com/miriamvanheist77/m3zrw985m924/wish/273478346 2018-08-16 13:53:30 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamvanheist77/m3zrw985m924/wish/273478346 Sharing learning experiences between countries in South East Asia miriamvanheist77 https://padlet.com/miriamvanheist77/m3zrw985m924/wish/273479129 2018-08-16 13:56:21 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamvanheist77/m3zrw985m924/wish/273479129 We can all learn from each other miriamvanheist77 https://padlet.com/miriamvanheist77/m3zrw985m924/wish/273480179 2018-08-16 13:59:39 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamvanheist77/m3zrw985m924/wish/273480179 Comment from David D Mr_D https://padlet.com/miriamvanheist77/m3zrw985m924/wish/273531889 Excellent content and supporting images Miriam. Biodiversity conservation, and climate change are excellent topics to promote International Mindedness in your class. Have you tried any of these types of activities in your classes before?]]> 2018-08-16 16:34:04 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamvanheist77/m3zrw985m924/wish/273531889
