Kuinka koulutus vastaa globaaleihin kriiseihin?
2023
Marraskuun pimeyden rikkoi taas vuosittain järjestettävä kansainvälinen osallistava SDG4-seminaari. Koronavuosien jälkeen osallistujat pääsivät vihdoinkin täyttämään Ruusupuiston. Vaikka seminaarin teema liittyi konflikteihin ja kriisitilanteissa opettamiseen, yhdessä oleminen toi iloa. Seminaariin osallistui yhteensä reilu 300 SDG4-teemoista kiinnostunutta kasvatusalan opiskelijaa ja asiantuntijaa ympäri maailmaa. SDG4 viittaa YK:n kestävän kehityksen tavoitteisiin (englanniksi Sustainable Development Goals, SDG), joista numero neljä käsittää hyvän koulutuksen: kaikille avoimen, tasa-arvoisen ja laadukkaan koulutuksen sekä tuen elinikäisen oppimisen mahdollisuuksiin. nonPeerReviewed
