| AIM OF THE COURSE |
On completion of the course, the student should have:
- acquired basic knowledge about different theoretical perspectives on globalisation with specific regard to the relation to popular education as an idea and phenomenon
- increased the understanding of how local and global processes affect the conditions for the work of social movements and popular education organisations
|
| CONTENTS |
The course includes an orientation in globalisation theories and how these may highlight different aspects of popular education as an idea and phenomenon. Questions in focus are: What does globalisation mean? What does globalisation mean for the conditions of popular education? What is new and what is old in the discussion of globalisation? The course covers both globalisation "from above" characterised by multinational companies and global institutions, and attempts at globalisation "from below" and the debate on global civil society. With emphasis on the conditions for social movements and public education organisations, global phenomena in local contexts and possibilities and problems in transnational forms of cooperation are studied.
|
| TEACHING |
The course is given as a combination of physical all-day meetings and distance studies. An electronic conference will be used as the arena for communication between the physical meetings. The teaching at the all-day meetings takes the form of lectures, seminars and group work. Between the meetings, literature studies are carried out.
