The process of creating participatory videos can enable children and young people to tell their own stories, reflect on cultural identities and build new social connections. Yet, while much research on participatory video focuses on voice and empowerment, little research has explored it as a tool for listening. This study compares children's experiences of a global education program in Australia and Timor-Leste, to examine the role of critical literacy and listening in participatory video exchanges. Drawing on recent studies concerned with global citizenship education and the role of ‘listening’ in participatory media theory, this study identifies three challenges for the use of participatory video for global education: the need to provide spaces for critical literacy and listening; to consider the impact of meta-narratives of development on children; and to allow for intercultural difference and difficult conversations.

L'approccio che noi proponiamo alla questione della povertà educativa intreccia sia gli obiettivi dell'Agenda 2030 per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile (Onu, 2015) sia quella della Global Education (Council of Europe, 2019) e dei diritti dei minori dichiarati nella Convenzione sui diritti dell'infanzia e dell'adolescenza (Onu, 1989). In questa prospettiva, indagheremo la questione della povertà educativa in termini non solo di mancanza di opportunità, di deprivazione e di qualità della vita, ma anche come deprivazione morale, di orientamenti e prospettive di vita, di qualità della proposta educativa e dei valori insiti in essa. Partendo dalla situazione attuale generata della pandemia del coronavirus, offriamo una lettura delle ricadute sulle povertà materiali e sulla povertà educativa, considerando anche le povertà altre. La prospettiva viene costruita attorno alla centralità dell'etica e all'ipotesi di un nuovo paradigma: il PEL (Prodotto Etico Lordo) cui è associata l'educazione alla sobrietà. In questa logica, la Global Education diviene approccio pedagogico per promuovere l'educazione alla cittadinanza globale per una vita degna e una dignità educativa

This paper offers a critique of transnational aspects of ‘inclusion,’ one of those global education buzzwords that as Slee (2009) puts it, say everything but say nothing. It starts off by trying to compare Indian and English usages and attitudes at the level of teacher discourse, and notes the impossibility of any ‘authentic’ translation, given the very different cultural contexts and histories. In response to these divergences, the authors undertake a much more genealogical and ‘forensic’ examination of values associated with ‘inclusion,’ focussing especially on a key notion of ‘pity.’ The Eurocentric tradition is traced from its Platonic origins through what is claimed to be the ‘industrialization of pity’ and its rejection as a virtue in favour of more apparently egalitarian measures of fairness. The Indian tradition relates rather to religious traditions across a number of different belief systems, most of which centre on some version of a karmic notion of pity. The authors both criticise and reject ‘inclusion’ as a colonisation of the global and call for a new understanding of notions like ‘pity’ as affective commitment rather than ‘fair’ dispensation of equality.

One of the key concepts in the right to education is access: access to the means to fully develop as human beings as well as access to the means to gain skills, knowledge and credentials. This is an important perspective through which to examine the solutions to access enabled by Open Educational Resources (OER) and online learning. The authors compare and contrast OER and online learning and their potential for addressing human rights “to” and “in” education. The authors examine OER and online learning growth and financial sustainability and discuss potential scenarios to address the global education gap.
