The Creation

Concerned about the limits of normative deliberative pedagogies, we designed and organized a workshop to explore to possibilities of an agonistic pedagogy for global citizenship education. We brought together a range of participants including national and international primary and university students, researchers and curriculum developers and we created pedagogical activities in which disagreement was fostered. We aimed to normalize conflict, create channels for the expression of political emotions and generate opportunities for the emergence of new subjectivities. Our findings suggest that the plurality of participants and the conflict-orientated pedagogies facilitated the normalization of conflict, the participants’ affective engagement with Others and the creation of new subjectivities. They also indicate that older participants had less positive attitudes towards conflict-orientated pedagogies and discussions on abstract topics did not foster ‘affective’ engagement. We examine potential implications for further educational research and practice considering the singularities of this project.

International Development Cooperation

This study was conducted to understand the overall perceptions of university students toward International Development Cooperation (IDC) and global citizenship education. The results, based on survey data, are as follows.First, university students agreed on the necessity of pursuing the goals of IDC and ODA projects. They reasoned that because South Koreans had benefited from foreign aid, they had a moral responsibility to contribute to the welfare of other developing countries. The students presented a high degree of agreement on the effectiveness of IDC projects in solving global problems, but they showed reluctance to the enlargement of the projects. The study revealed that the students were less aware of “2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)”Second, the study showed that undergraduates were willing to participate in IDC projects and global citizenship educations. From a macroscopic point of view, they showed an eagerness to help the poor in developing countries and be engaged in IDC projects due to their global concerns. From a microscopic view, they wanted to fulfill their sense of moral responsibility by participating in global citizenship education, which they believe might help them find a job and develop their career.Third, undergraduates recognized that universities lack proper education on IDC and need to be equipped with a more enforced educational programs. Some of the students expected to receive multifaceted and up-to-date information on IDC via liberal arts courses.

At the age of a new kind of everything (a new kind of communication, a new kind of education, a new kind of social problems etc.) citizenship also takes a new kind form: global citizenship. Global concept has been conducted on almost every area including citizenship. Therefore, citizenship has been understood from a global perspective to overcome new global scale problems. EU is a good example of changing citizenship understanding differing from the national base. Poland is a good target country taken its membership since 2004. 12 years duration means that new generation has been raised in the atmosphere of a supra national environment. At this point, what kinds of variables have what kinds of impact on the global citizenship level of this generation is worth being studied. This study has aimed to understand this question using a personal information form in addition to a “global citizenship” scale developed by Morais - Ogden (2010). The study conducted through survey model included 353 Polish university students. It is understood from the results of the study that Polish students have an intermediate level of global citizenship and low level of global civic engagement. It is also one of the findings that some variables have impact on global citizenship levels. In this respect, the study will contribute to the understanding of the global citizenship levels of EU member students.
