Session Description
This session is intended as a framework for sharing educational practices. In the face of global challenges, we must respond by educating and training leaders who will be able to face the current global challenges. This is an opportunity to show concrete examples of good practices. Student motivation will be discussed, in response to the question: "What approach does the teacher use to stimulate student interest?"
What will educators learn and be able to do at the end of the session?
At the end of the session, educators will be able to form a group of students without a focus on class differences. These students will develop through educational activities and global citizenship and will become pioneers of development through education. The ultimate goal will be to teach young students to become true advocates for good causes on a global scale.
Additional Session Information
The students of the College of the Martyrs will serve in a supporting role to encourage discussion during the session. The participants will also be encouraged to share their practices with the audience.
