International exchanges for ESD in teacher education – internationally comparative experiences

The Erasmus+ project “Global Sense – Developing Global Sensitivity Among Student Teachers” focuses on virtual international exchange opportunities on global challenges and their implications for future teaching practices in the context of sustainability and cosmopolitanism. The project has been designed to engage student teachers from France, Germany, Israel, Belgium and the USA in a collaborative process of acquiring reflective and actionable competencies that will enable them to address ESD issues holistically, with a special focus on GCED, in their future classrooms. Selected case studies from these partners will present an international collaborative approach to integrating GCED into teacher education, outlining supportive didactic and structural conditions for qualification processes.
