Обучението по география и икономика в контекста на глобалното образование и образованието за развитие
Training in Geography and Economics in the Context of Global Education and Education for Development

Summary/Abstract: The globalization, the problems and challenges that our modern world faces inevitably raise the question of how we must preserve our planet for future generations. Therefore the education we give to students (Global Education and Education for Development) is of vital importance to the preservation of our world and should aim to teach them all the knowledge, skills and competences they require to make our planet a better and fairer place. The Geography and Economy classes tackle different problems that concern humanity in general, give global context to local problems. Finding solutions to these issues helps develop different problem-solving skills, as well as empathy within the students. In order to provoke responses from the children and make them more involved in these processes we use interactive techniques and activities (brain storming, discussions, group works, problem-solving, roleplaying etc.). The ultimate goal is to help young people develop consciousness for the global issues and urge them to take actions in solving these issues. A great part of the anticipated goals are achieved through viewing these problems in the context of the activities associated with the Global Goals for Sustainable Development of the UN 2015-2030.
