An international training course on\u00a0 human rights, sustainability and fraternity, consisting of lessons, practical activities,\u00a0 interaction and opportunities to discuss experience.<\/em> \"\"Education in Global Citizenship \u2013 Solidarity of Service<\/strong> \u00a0has already made a very positive debut and has involved \u00a091 teachers and educators: \u00a0it will be repeated this year. This course is aimed at all those who work in education and who want to learn about civic activity with a particular focus on practical solidarity of service. \u00a0One of the course objectives, therefore, \u00a0is to train participants to become promoters of active and global citizenship, to encourage critical thinking and to enable young people to promote learning\u00a0 based on solidarity. The course is organised by AMU, Action for a United World, in partnership with CLAYSS, the Latin American Centre for Service Learning and in collaboration with the Focolare\u2019s Youth for a United World. On line lessons will begin on 8 September 2021 and finish in January 2022.\u00a0 Ther will be a total of 80 hours of teaching and interactive methods will be used throughout. 60 hours will be dedicated to lessons on a variety of topics (which will not be streamed but live); the other 20 hours will be used to help prepare for the final assignment. Each module will be presented using \u00a0videos, texts and in-depth analysis of the subject matter. During the course, each participant will be supported by a specialist tutor<\/strong> who will be available for personal consultation and periodical video calls. Each module includes activities that enable students to gain skills\u00a0 in understanding how the contents can be applied within their own educational context. The on line platform will also include opportunities for participants to dialogue and compare experiences. The internationality of the course makes these sessions extremely helpful and interesting. Students who complete the 80 hours of teaching will be awarded a certificate by AMU at the end of the course. The feedback from those who followed the course in past has been very positive.\u00a0 Participants were particularly appreciative of the teaching style which succeeds in enabling both teachers and students to become active citizens.\u00a0 They felt the on line facility worked very well and that tutors were professional and very supportive; they were also readily available and worked with dedication and imagination. \u00a0Past students also said that the internationality of their group was culturally enriching. In conclusion, this is a course, \u00a0rich in content, which will enable teachers and educators to deepen their knowledge and broaden their skills in citizenship and help others to become active citizens.
