Summary

The Global Learning for Sense of Belonging (Globe) is a 36 month long international innovative project that aims to advance human well-being and social inclusion within and beyond school environments by enriching the sense of belonging of school leaders, teachers and students alike.

To reach the aim, the objectives of GloBe are to:
1) deepen and broaden the scope of day-to-day work of school principals towards pedagogical and shared leadership
2) enhance novice teachers’ shared and co-teaching professional capabilities to cross disciplinary and grade-level boundaries in schools, and
3) introduce new to “sustainable future” learning modules to actively engage students.


GloBe project comprises sets of training activities, outputs, and outcomes, which are closely inter-related and support each other throughout the project cycle and development process. Thematically trainings and intellectual outcomes will focus on following themes: Pedagogical Leaderships, Shared Leadership, Co-teaching; Global Citizenship Education; and Agenda 2030 and Sustainable Development Goals. The project will intertwine the development of professional competences and global issues pedagogy, and in doing so, create new kind of future professional capabilities and identities.

GloBe comprises of three identical courses/groups, which all include five core training activities. For each training, we will select one leader/principal and two teachers (3 professionals) from the same school to create local teams (2 schools) to support each other in each partner country. In total we will train 54 professionals, 18 from each country in one semester long learning process. The first and the last training are intensive residential international seminars, whereas the second and fourth take place in local schools in each three partner countries. Third training is a webinar. Through the activities that take place in local schools, we will reach indirectly a great number of educational professionals and most importantly,
hundreds of students.


There are two kind of organisations in the consortium from 3 different countries: civil-society organisation and higher education institutes, which each has extensive experience in their areas of expertise and about working in close cooperation with schools, teachers and leaders/principals. Consequently, there is strong common understanding of the key concepts, realities of schools as operational environment and basic values as well as strong will to learn from each other and work together.
