Advances in transportation and communication technology have brought greater connectivity between people around the world and given rise to the notion of a global community. In this conference we would like students to enter into dialogue about the idea of Global Citizenship – what it is, what qualities it requires and how their education prepares them for it. 

 1.You should look into global citizenship and talk about what it means to be a citizen and to be a global citizen, about advantages and/or disadvantages of global citizenship.  You should show your understanding of global citizenship including your personal experiences and viewpoints if you feel global citizens.

2.Is education for global citizenship part of your school and/or education system in your country. If no why. If yes, how does it look. Students will explore questions such as the importance of education for global citizenship in their country context and if they would  like to see any changes in this area.

Read the following articles and make notes for your speech:

The procedure of the Conference:

1.     Sharing and Enquiry

 You could begin by considering what it means to be a citizen and to be a global citizen. Three of four students from each school might share their perspectives on this.  If you are able to think about these ideas in advance and provide some elaborated responses we will have a solid base for further dialogue. After this sharing there will be some time for reflection and the formulation of response questions. These questions should help you to reach a better understanding of global citizenship / the different perspectives that have been shared.

The facilitator will then encourage you to think together about what schools do (or could / should do) to prepare students to become citizens of the world.

Your own questions should drive the majority of the dialogue. You should  be curious and to be prepared to use your  questioning to ‘dig deeper’ when different perspectives are shared. Question stems such as ‘Could I ask X for an example of…’; ‘Could I ask X to say more about…’; ‘Could I just check with X – are you saying that…’ could be useful.

2.     Reflection

 As the dialogue draws to a close, you will be asked to respond to the following question: “Can you tell us about something that has been said today that has really interested you and perhaps made you think more deeply about education for global citizenship?”

3.     Review

In the final round, the facilitator will ask you to reflect on the quality of your dialogue with particular reference to the targets they set during the introduction. It would be helpful if students were able to illustrate their answers by referring to moments / exchanges in the session.

Read the radio programme about new inventions and do the exercise to practise and improve your reading skills:

Presenter: Welcome to ‘Tech-Today!’ This week it’s National Science & Engineering Week, so to celebrate we asked Jed our science correspondent to give us a round-up of new inventions.
Jed: Hi, yes, I’ve got some very interesting things to tell you about today, starting with a fun one. Wing-suits, those suits that look like bats and allow people to fly, or glide, at least. They’re the ultimate in cool.
Presenter: But, they’re not very new, are they?
Jed: Well, no, but the modern ones are better than ever and last October was the first ever world championship in China. The price is coming down, too. Now you can buy one for 600 to 2,000 dollars. It’s still too expensive for me, but I suppose it’ll keep coming down.
Presenter: OK, what about useful new inventions?
Jed: There are lots of those. There’s a new solar water distiller created by Gabriele Diamanti aimed at parts of the world where it’s hard to get clean drinking water. You pour in salty water and let the sun do the work for a few hours. Then, hey presto! You have clean water! It’s a very simple device and fairly cheap to produce.
Presenter: Can I hear some doubt in your voice?
Jed: Well, they still need help with investment to start producing the distiller properly. So if anyone out there has money to invest in a great product …?
Presenter: Absolutely. Get in touch with the designers.
Jed: Another useful invention which it would be good to see in production are “enable talk gloves”. These were invented by some Ukrainian students to allow people with speech and hearing impairments to communicate with people who don’t understand sign language. The gloves use sensors to translate sign language into text, then into spoken language using a smartphone. A brilliant invention!
Presenter: Yes, that could benefit thousands of people.
Jed: Another useful invention comes from a surprising source, James Cameron, the film director.
Presenter: The 'Titanic' director?
Jed: The very same. Cameron was part of a team, headed by engineer Ron Allum, which designed the Deepsea Challenger Submarine, capable of descending to the lowest parts of the sea, 10 km down. Last year Cameron went down to the bottom of Challenger Deep, the deepest part of the sea in the world. He was the first person to do a solo dive there, and he stayed for three hours, the longest time so far.
Presenter: That sounds impressive!
Jed: Yes. We know so little about what’s at the bottom of the ocean, and it’s important to find out more. OK, so now for something useful in a different way. You know that feeling when you’re trying to get tomato ketchup out of a bottle and it won’t come out, but you’re sure there’s lots more in there?
Presenter: Yeah, of course. It’s really annoying.
Jed: Well, a team of students at MIT, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, have come up with a new product that you use to coat a glass or plastic bottle, and then what’s inside, hair gel or mustard, or whatever, comes out really easily.
Presenter: So, it saves hours of frustration trying to get stuff out of bottles?
Jed: Exactly. Right, now for my favourite invention. This is really silly, but I love it. It’s a way of producing clouds indoors.
Presenter: Clouds?
Jed: Yes. A Dutch artist has come up with a way of forming perfect, small, white clouds inside. They’re just beautiful. I don’t think you can do it yourself at home yet, though.
Presenter: I don’t think I’d want to.
Jed: Oh, you would if you’d seen the photos. They’re amazing.
Presenter: OK, Jed, thanks for that. We’ll leave you with your head in the clouds and see you again next week!

1. Wing-suits are not very _______________, but the modern ones are better than ever. 

2. Last October was the first ever wing-suit world _______________ in China.

 3. You can buy a wing-suit for 600 to _______________ dollars.

 2. Wing-suits are getting cheaper. 

3. Gabriele Diamanti's water distiller is powered by the sun. 

4. The "enable talk gloves" help people to use sign language in really cold conditions. 

5. James Cameron invented a new underwater camera. 

6. MIT students have invented a new type of ketchup. 

7. The last invention is a way of producing clouds indoors. 

8. The science correspondent thinks the clouds are ugly.

With regard to the agenda, please consider the below points and let me know if there is anything here that you would like to modify:

1. 1. Where do I see peace and where do I see the conflict in my own life and in my community?
   2. What do I think divides people and what do I think brings them together?
   3. Is peace important to me? What do I need to do to be a peace builder? Will this involve sacrifice or compromise on my part?

 WHAT IS CONFLICT? Is conflict good or bad? When is it good, when is it bad? Can we always prevent a conflict from happening? Should we always prevent it? 

 Conflict is a natural part of life. It is very difficult to always prevent conflict. Most people have a very negative view of conflict. They feel it provokes anger and causes fights. Some people think it is a waste of time. In reality, conflict does not always have to be a negative experience; it depends on how people manage and solve them. You can learn a lot from a conflict situation. Sometimes conflict is even needed to ‘clear the air’ and move forward. 

We often associate the word ‘conflict’ with large-scale armed clashes: war, rebels, and fighting. However, conflicts can also occur on a smaller scale, for example quarrels with friends, parents, or teachers. Conflicts may even exist within yourself. This module addresses these smaller conflicts and helps us find ways to deal with them peacefully. Conflict is a disagreement that makes the people involved feel like their needs, interests, or concerns are under threat. Peace is the absence of violence and a state of harmony within and between people or groups. 

 CONFLICT AS A PART OF LIFE Conflict is a natural part of human existence. People have different values, opinions and interests that can clash from time to time. If you deal with those clashes constructively, conflict can be a positive dynamic – a force of change for the better. Peace is not only the absence of war or armed violence. Even in times of peace people can still be marginalised, exploited and discriminated against. This is called ‘negative peace’. ‘Positive peace’ is different. During ‘positive peace’, social relationships, structures and cultures enhance the capacity of human beings. When there is positive peace, groups and institutions manage conflicts non-violently and constructively. We cannot avoid conflicts altogether. We need to deal with them as they arise. People will naturally disagree on some things – that’s normal. The challenge is to find constructive solutions for them, leading to positive peace. 

 CONFLICT ANALYSIS Social conflicts are complex. They involve many actors in processes that are usually complicated. Sometimes conflicts escalate in intensity and violence; other times they quiet down. Then, again, they may fall back into violence, before taking a new step towards peace. We can analyse the cause and factors that contribute to a conflict to help us find the best way to contribute to peacefully resolving it. 

 LEVELS OF CONFLICT Broadly speaking, we can distinguish four levels of conflict: The four different levels of conflict: • Intrapersonal: a conflict between thoughts, ideas, and emotions within an individual. 

• Interpersonal: a conflict between two or more individuals. 

• Intragroup: a conflict within a group, such as sports team, family, community or class.

 • Intergroup: a conflict between groups such as communities, gangs, or ethnic groups. 

• What are the causes of the conflict? • What are the different ways people perceive the conflict?

Resolving a conflict requires the following stages: 1. Clarifying the needs 2. Identifying the main issue 3. Generating alternatives 4. Evaluating alternatives 5. Choosing a solution 6 And the following skill

I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO LISTEN TO EACH OTHER’S NEEDS

I SOMETIMES GET INTO A FIGHT WITH MY BEST FRIEND... BUT WE ALWAYS RESOLVE IT, BY TALKING TO EACH OTHER

• Did you see conflicts? • What type of conflict did you see (intrapersonal, interpersonal, intragroup)? • How did the participants try to solve the conflicts? • How could they have solved the conflicts? 

• What is peace? • What does peace mean to you?

KEY TERMS CAN BE: 

PEACE IS GETTING ALONG WELL TOGETHER. 

PEACE IS SOLVING ARGUMENTS WITHOUT IT BECOMING VIOLENT. 

PEACE IS RESPECTING EACH OTHER AND EACH OTHER’S DIFFERENCES. 

PEACE IS BEING PART OF THE SAME WORLD WITHOUT FIGHTING. 

PEACE IS HAVING ROOM TO GROW AND LEARN SAFELY. 

PEACE IS BEING KIND TO OTHERS. 

PEACE IS IN EVERYONE’S HANDS.

Are young people today worse than ever?

 ‘We live in a decaying age. Young people no longer respect their parents. They are rude and impatient. They frequently inhabit taverns and have no self-control.’

Does this sound familiar? Those who think it does may be surprised to find out that this comment is actually an inscription from an Ancient Egyptian tomb. However, replace the word ‘taverns’ with ‘bars’ and it may begin to sound all too familiar to today’s youth.

It seems that people manage to find a way to complain about the youth today from every possible angle. Whether in newspapers, television shows, or even general chit-chat – young people seem to be everyone’s favourite scapegoats.  People may claim that young people are getting rowdier, or have become ruder than the ‘good old days’, when they showed respect to their elders. The ‘good old days’ refer to people’s nostalgic memories of the past.

However, have there ever been any ‘good old days’ when it comes to young people? Could there be any truth to the claims that today’s young generation is the worst ever? Or are these complaints something which every young generation has had to simply deal with since Ancient Egypt?

I believe that there is probably some truth to the idea that young people are more impatient than they once were. Isn’t this obvious, though? We live in an extremely connected world with huge amounts of information right at our fingertips. Technology has enabled us to do things more quickly, so naturally, we expect things to be done more quickly. This doesn’t just apply to young people though, this applies to us all!

Nevertheless, people may still argue that young people are more arrogant and reckless than they once were. Whether this is because young people are unfairly portrayed in the media, or because they actually are getting worse, is up for discussion.

 Discussion - write a paragraph what you think:

What do you think about Ben's post? Do you think that young people today are worse than ever? Why do you think so?
