A child born in 2020 is projected into an interconnected, interdependent world, in which local events can have global resonances and in which international phenomena impact the daily lives of many individuals. In order to prepare for this, not only the school, but also all the actors who make up the world of education must grasp new challenges characterized by an unprecedented internationalization.

The main objective of this MOOC is to understand how events that are far away from school actors can impact their daily life: to do so, we will proceed by playing with scale and will alternate between presentations of global issues and local responses. The second key objective is to better understand the themes that structure what we will call here the field of international education; in other words, an education impacted by the interdependencies of the world. We will deal with migration, forced migration, North-South relations, international cooperation and global citizenship education. Through modules and lessons, you will have the keys to better understand these themes and resources to deepen their understanding. You will be able to mobilize concepts and various theoretical resources to analyze, put into perspective and criticize the developments that the world of education is following in a globalized context.
