Taking Students from Me to We: A Global Citizenship Course Model for Students Participating in Service-Learning

Facilitators:
  • Christopher Boettcher, Assistant Professor of English, Castleton State College
  • Jessica Friedrichs, Faculty, Social Work Department, Coordinator, Service-Learning and Outreach Center, Carlow University
  • Eric Hartman, Executive Director, Amizade Global Service-Learning, Adjunct Faculty, WVA Master's Program in Public Administration


Description: This session will present a global citizenship course developed by faculty leading intercultural courses through the Amizade Global Service-Learning Center. Participants will learn a model for taking students through a process of exploring their personal values and how those relate to concepts of global or universal values. This session will present the definition of global citizenship that Amizade has utilized in over a dozen disparate disciplines and community contexts and explore its relevance to models proposed by participants. The session will also incorporate insights on academic content, experiential learning, service-learning, intercultural education, group-building and reflection practices from three faculty members engaged in global service-learning on a variety of continents for over six years.
