This three part workshop, led by Dr. Eric Hartman, will enhance your understanding of designing a global service learning program, integrating critical reflection and then connecting the dots upon re-entry, allowing participants to be more informed and active global citizens.
All 3 webinar sessions will be recorded so that you can listen to them later if you cannot make them “live” -
Tuesday, February 7, 2012 2:00 PM – 3:45 PM EST (90 minutes)/Friday, February 10, 2012 2:00 PM – 3:45 PM EST (90 minutes)/Tuesday, February 14, 2012 2:00 PM – 3:45 PM EST (90 minutes)
Part 1: Global Service-Learning by Design: In this session we will begin with a foundational understanding of essential components of global service-learning before considering how these values apply to the program model and curricular possibilities specific to you institution. Participants will gain deeper understanding of core global service-learning best practices, employ an understanding-by-design approach to apply those principles to their own programming possibilities, and carefully consider the primary program model alternatives available.
Part 2: Integrating Critical Reflection: Serious scholars of intercultural competency, pro-social values, and other types of student development widely acknowledge the essential quality of guided reflective practice. Yet without careful planning, appropriate tools, and attention to student development theory, efforts at reflection can fall flat or feel forced. Part 2 will provide approaches to ensuring reflective practice is continuous, challenging, connected, and contextualized (Eyler and Giles.) Participants will gain access to specific tools and best practices.
Part 3: Advancing Common Human Dignity (Global Citizenship): Universities maintain that they create global citizens, frequently through study abroad and international education efforts. Yet few institutions are able to cite clearly what they mean by “global citizen” and even fewer have outlined a systematic process for advancing student understanding of global civil society and core common human responsibilities. Part 3 will share a reflective and experiential model of advancing student understanding of common human dignity and related global opportunities for building a better world (yes, even from home!)
