ISP - teaching Global Citizenship at Salzburg Seminar (AT/USA)

Project Objectives

The ISP for undergraduates provides an intensive international experience for participants to explore issues of worldwide concern and to view them from a perspective both literally and figuratively outside the borders of the United States. Students develop the tools to be more discerning in their assessment of information pertaining to world affairs and to understand what it means to be a "global citizen."

The ISP for College Faculty and Administrators allows participants to explore the factors that support or constrain a comprehensive institutional approach to global education. Participants jointly develop strategies, and ways to implement them, that will bring broader international perspectives to their classrooms, campuses, and communities.

Inter-active sessions held by Dr Baumgartl help the students to "enter" Europe, by presenting current problems in Europe, in terms of multi-cultural society and integration, and some attempts of solutions, by analysing selected projects my navreme across Europe.

Over the past years, the following sessions were held:
"Welcome to (the Other) Europe: A Cruise Along the Danube"
"Xenophobia and 'Racism' in Europe After 1989"
"Inclusion and Inter-cultural Education: A Discussion and Thinking Exercise"
" Global Responsibility, Human Rights, Intercultural Education"
