Projekt III. – Posilnenie globálneho povedomia v lokálnych komunitách

V septembri 2014 Kolpingovo dielo vstúpilo ako partner do projektu  Posilnenie globálneho povedomia v lokálnych komunitách (Strengthening global awareness in the local communities – Kolping 2020 Strategy).

Lídrom projektu je Nadácia Kolpingovho diela v Poľsku a ďalšími partnermi okrem Kolpingu Slovensku sú aj: Kolping Rumunsko, Kolping Slovinsko, Kolping Litva a Kolping Nemecko. Projekt je podporený z programu Erazmus+

Spoločne sme sa rozhodli ako mimovládne organizácie, ktoré majú spoločné idey a podobné smerovanie, posilňovať globálne povedomie a zorganizovať s týmto cieľom v priebehu troch rokov viacero medzinárodných ale i lokálnych podujatí.

Čo je globálne vzdelávanie

Globálne rozvojové vzdelávanie (GRV) je vzdelávací prístup, ktorý vedie k hlbšiemu porozumeniu rôznorodosti a nerovností vo svete a príčin ich existencie. Odhaľuje možnosti riešenia problémov, ktoré sú s  s týmito globálnymi témami spojené. Podnecuje všetkých zainteresovaných bez ohľadu na vek ku skúmaniu otázok ako napr. chudoba a k ich prepojeniu s každodenným životom. Narúšaním stereotypov a podporou nezávislého samostatného myslenia sa snaží globálne rozvojové vzdelávanie pomôcť rozvíjať aj praktické zručnosti a prispieť k pozitívnym zmenám v lokálnom aj globálnom merítku.

„Globálne vzdelávanie je vzdelávanie, ktoré otvára myseľ a oči ľudí voči komplexnejšej realite sveta

a prebúdza potrebu prispieť k väcšej spravodlivosti, rovnosti a ľudským právam pre všetkých.

Globálne vzdelávanie zahŕňa rozvojové vzdelávanie, vzdelávanie o ľudských právach, o udržateľnom

rozvoji, o mieri a prevencii konfliktov, interkulturálne a multikulturálne vzdelávanie, smerujúce ku

globálnym dimenziám vzdelávania k občianstvu“.  (Maastrichtská Deklarácia globálneho vzdelávania, 2002).

Ciele a princípy globálneho vzdelávania

Mimovládne organizácie priniesli na školy viaceré témy, akými sú napríklad problematika chudoby, spravodlivý obchod, zmena klímy, trvalo-udržateľný rozvoj, či práva detí. Zamerali sa na školenia učiteľov, prípravu metodických príručiek, didaktických materiálov, videofilmov, či interaktívnych výstav, workshopov so žiakmi. Učitelia aplikovali témy z oblasti GV najmä počas predmetov, ako je občianska výchova, etika, náuka o spoločnosti, geografia, ale aj výtvarná výchova. Na niektorých školách sa realizovalo projektové vyučovanie alebo aktivity v rámci mimoškolskej činnosti. Niektoré školy si v rámci školského programu vytvorili špecializovaný predmet, zameraný na GV.

4. Seminar: Encyclical „Laudato Si“ and the global involvement of an active citizen

Venue: The Kolping House, Štiavnické Bane,
Date: 2nd -3rd January 2016
Theme: – introduction of social encyclicals which have had global impact with the particular focus on the encyclical Laudato si .
Target group: young people 20 to 35 years old.
Number of participants: 16

The Kolping Society in Slovakia encourages its members and sympathizers to be socially active citizens.
The national Praeses of the Kolping Society in Slovakia Pavol Zaťko and the project coordinator PhDr. Margita Marková were the lecturers.
Pavol Zaťko gave an overview of social encyclicals in the given historical context, starting from Rerum novarum by Pope Leo XIII from 1891 through more recent
social encyclicals. He also highlighted their urgency and the importance of putting them in practice in the current society.
Margita Marková introduced the encyclical of Pope Francis – „Laudato si“, which focuses on global ecological problems and the involvement of citizens in these issues.
The encyclical encourages individuals to feel responsibility for the state of the Earth and nature in view of future generations. Each of us has to care about our „common home“. Pope Francis addresses individuals, families, local communities, countries and international communities and urges everyone to convert to ecological issues and to lead a dialogue among different nations and religions. The encyclical emphasises the internal link within the world and the connection between poverty and the vulnerability of our planet. In spite of the vulnerability, plundering and the abuse of our planet, the encyclical is hopeful, highlighting the idea that „humanity still has the ability to work together in building our common home“ (13) and men and women are still capable of intervening  positively“ (58), because „Human beings, while capable of the worst, are also capable of rising above themselves, choosing again what is good, and making a new start.“ (205). The above can and must be done through honest discussions and responsible decisions.
Both lecturers, as leading forces of the Kolping Society in Slovakia, presented the participants the chance to get involved in both social and ecological issues by means of national and international Kolping Society events and encouraged them to join in various programmes.
