The Understanding of Human Rights and Rule of Law from the Perspective of Kohlberg’s Theory
2015
Human rights, democracy and the rule of law are considered to be the foundations of the normative order of modern societies (Habermas, 1996). Even though the universal validity of human rights is often criticized, they represent an ethical minimum consensus of the global society as conventions on human rights have been ratified by more than 150 states.
Informal Learning for Citizenship Building in Shared Struggles for Right: Cases of Political Solidarity Between Colombian and Spanish Organisations
2015
[EN]: Dominant discourses and practices in international cooperation have been characterised by depoliticisation and unequal power relationships. However, a number of more transformative experiences of cooperation also exist, where joint work between Northern and Southern social organisations is linked with a more political perspective. These kinds of experiences can be considered processes of informal learning in social action: through shared actions, strategies and frameworks and through interaction between organisations, institutions and the grassroots, informal and multidimensional learning processes occur in the people and organisations engaged. The study approaches four cases of netwo…

Systems Thinking and Sustainability in Organisations
2015
This set of articles arises from a series of conferences (Business Systems Laboratory Symposia, 2013-2015) and in particular from the 2nd Business systems Laboratory International Symposium, Rome 2014 with the theme ‘Systems Thinking for a Sustainable Economy’, concerned with systems thinking and its relations with sustainable management, where the relevance of systems thinking was demonstrated. The current period of our global society is characterised by intense transformations in the competitive logics of organisations, markets, and, generally speaking, society.

Professional development for teachers: a world of change
2009
As the industrialised world shifted to an interdependent and global society, formal schooling was quickly recognised as a major factor in achieving a knowledge society of lifelong learners capable of transforming and revitalising organisations. Teachers were encouraged to engage in learning together to improve teaching and, by extension, improve learning for the children in their care. This article identifies three emerging trends intended to broaden teachers' learning and enhance their practices through continuous professional development: glocalisation, mentoring, and re‐thinking teacher evaluation. The body of the article indicates how these three trends are unfolding in Australia, Engla…
Planning teachers' professional development for global education 1
2004
Group consultation was used with educators at different stages of their careers as an innovative research tool in the development of both pre- and in-service teacher training for world citizenship education. The themes identified by the teachers were quite broad, and included the need for more educational philosophy, varied educational methodology and the skills to collaborate with other teachers in order to create a “culture of consultation in schools”. Involving teachers in the field was found to be essential in identifying critical areas for training, as well as for appropriate means and implementation. A survey of seminar participants (n 35) showed new paths for development in the area …

The Faces of Civil Justice in the Global Society of the 21st Century
2015
Over time the consecration of political and democratic social models have allowed to convert the process into a category of an instrument or alternative in exercising the fundamental right to Access Justice; it is an Instrument, certainly, but it is an indispensable instrument in achieving this and it became a guarantor of citizens, with the right to claim protection and to do so from parameters that responded from a formal structure to the achievements that modern constitutionalism has achieved. We might think the world has changed. And with this change society and Justice has also undergone transformations. The panorama that we live offers us a desperate search for a model of Justice in w…
