<< Objectives >>ROOTS OF DESPAIR AND DESIRE’s OVERALL OBJECTIVE IS TO CREATE CONSCIOUSNESS AND AWARENESS WITH STUDENTS ABOUT THE GENESIS OF OUR MODERN GLOBALIZED WORLD WITH ITS INEQUALITIES. In terms of TAKING ACTION AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT knowing and reflecting human history with regard to fairness is key. If we as Europe’s educators and civil society agents want the next generation to engage in social entrepreneurial activities for more inclusive societies we need to build skills and competences at first.<< Implementation >>We will develop a digital learning package on the ROOTS of DISPARITY AND DESIRE, consisting of an eLearning course and a presence training kit for teachers. While the eLearning courses will focus on building knowledge, the presence training will build the pracitical critical thinking and argumentation skills. The content will be developed cooperatively with Global Citizenship Education experts and will be tested thoroughly with the school partner in the project.<< Results >>The main results will be a) an eLearning course that can be completed independendly and b) associated presence training designs as teacher manuals. A teacher handbook supports teachers in easily and quickly adapting the learning resources to their needs and conveys methodological considerations on how to reach the pedagogical objectives with a flipped classroom approach. The final result will thus be a fully developed and tested learning offer for schools working on Global Cititzenship Education
