Bridge 47 - Tender for a Regional Knowledge Exchange Consultant – Northern European Partnership
by Sanna Rekola 18 Jun '19

18 Jun '19

Viestin välitti, Sanna Rekola / Fingo Bridge 47 - Tender for a Regional Knowledge Exchange Consultant – Northern European Partnership The Bridge 47 – Building Global Citizenship<https://www.eadi.org/bridge-47-building-global-citizenship/> project mobilises global civil society to contribute to global justice and eradication of poverty through Global Citizenship Education (GCE). The project provides a space for civil society organisations, activists and other interested people to interact with one another, exchange information and resources and develop new and innovative approaches for global citizenship education. The project focuses on joint advocacy efforts and building new partnerships, while it also supports the civil society to develop new and effective approaches to reaching out to new stakeholders and provides tools to promote and act upon Global Citizenship Education. The project works closely with partners engaged in informal and non-formal education and life-long learning with a view to promoting transformative change in society. Download the full tender here<https://www.eadi.org/typo3/fileadmin/user_upload/Tender_Northern_Partnershi…> The United Nations 2030 Agenda considers education central in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and for the first time in the global context, recognises that parallel efforts are needed to ensure that all lifelong learners, of different ages and backgrounds, acquire the knowledge and skills to promote sustainable development as outlined in detail by SDG 4.7. Working towards this goal, the B47 project facilitates the implementation of this target and I) aims at developing and promoting successful policies and practices concerning new and innovative ways of reaching out to the wider society OR ii) responds to the focus shift from formal education to informal and non-formal education and invites us to rethink the knowledge, skills, and capacities we all need as world citizens. EADI, the European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes takes the leading role in the work on Knowledge Exchange Partnerships which serve to ensure a free flow of information and best practices between research institutions and civil society organisations. This is done by building new and strengthening existing regional partnerships. With a series of events, workshops and conferences over the next years, we are contributing to bridge gaps between civil society organisations and academia. The regional Knowledge Exchange Partnerships in Iberia, Northern Europe and South-Eastern Europe will be open to interested civil society organisations and academic institutions. Further information on the Bridge47 website<http://The> Purpose The purpose of this post is three-fold. Firstly, it is to establish a regional GCE Knowledge Exchange Partnership mainly in the United Kingdom and Denmark - called Northern Europe partnership - by building a network of practitioners and scholars. Secondly, it is central in organising three regional events to exchange practical and academic knowledge on GCE. Thirdly, it makes sure that ideas developed, and knowledge gathered within the regional network is fed into the process of creating a massive open online course (MOOC). Tasks * Identify regional civil society organisations and scholars that should be integrated into the Knowledge Exchange Partnership on GCE. * Uphold the regional network by communicating on a regular basis about events and project related news. * Organise three regional events. 1) Network building; 2) Reflecting on GCE and designing for the MOOC; 3) Training for teaching GCE and the MOOC * Identify regional resources and persons that should be featured in a massive open online course. Feed this information and further findings to the massive open online course coordinator and the Knowledge Exchange Partnerships coordinator. Main Deliverables * Organising three regional Knowledge Exchange events. * Acting as a regional contact person for Knowledge Exchange Partnerships. * Support the content development of a massive open online course. Support This work will be supported by the Knowledge Exchange Officer, who is responsible for the general coordination of Knowledge Exchange Partnerships within all three regions – namely Iberia; South-Eastern Europe and Northern Europe countries. Timeline It is anticipated that this combined work would comprise about 20 days: 4 days for each of the three regional events, 4 days for taking care of the regional partnership and 4 days of supporting the development of a massive open online course. Personal Specification * Excellent knowledge of the Northern Europe – mainly United Kingdom and Denmark - civil society and research landscape * An understanding and knowledge of Global Citizenship Education in the specific regional context * Excellent written and oral communication in English * Ability to write messages for a variety of audiences Budget The tenderer should include their proposed daily rate, which should include all costs.

The description should preferably be written both in English and in Finnish, but if you do not speak Finnish, only English is quite ok. In case you have open access publications, please include links to these publications. Please send your description to the following address: gerif1blog(a)gmail.com by Friday 24th of May.

by hehenrik＠abo.fi 13 Mar '19

13 Mar '19

NEWSLETTER 1/2019 Dear members of the GERIF-network, You receive this newsletter because you have expressed an interest in joining the network for global education research in Finland (GERIF). SUMMARY OF NETWORK MEETING 27.2.2019 We want to thank all the 25 people who participated in the network meeting in Helsinki on the 27th of February. It was nice to see so many competent and enthusiastic people there! At the meeting, there was a clear consensus that the new network is needed. The participants hoped that the network would make research more accessible by collecting it to one place (the upcoming website) and also by presenting research in popularized ways. Concerning collaboration, the participants wished that the network would facilitate cooperation between research and practice and encourage critical debate. SAVE THE DATE We can inform you that the network will gather at the FERA conference on Education (Kasvatustieteen päivät) 21th - 22th of November 2019 in Joensuu. For the conference, we are planning a working group on global education. Currently, we are also applying for the status of Special Interest Group (SIG-group) within the Finnish Educational Research Association, in order to enhance multidisciplinary cooperation within global education research and increase the visibility of the network. UPCOMING WEBSITE The next step is to launch a website for the network, in which we can share and discuss recent publications and research projects as well as inform about upcoming scientific events related to global education. Our aim is to provide you with more information on the website within April. NETWORK COORDINATORS The network is coordinated by the following group: Elina Lehtomäki (professor, University of Oulu), Antti Rajala (postdoctoral researcher, University of Helsinki), Sanna Rekola (expert on global education, Fingo), Antti Kylänpää (doctoral researcher, Tampere University) and Heidi Henriksson (doctoral researcher, Åbo Akademi Unversity).
