Course Overview 

This eight-week online course provides educators with practical strategies to integrate the UNESCO-IBE seven global competences into their teaching. Through a combination of interactive sessions—supported by student-shared examples—, collaborative discussions, and weekly assignments, participants will explore how to cultivate lifelong learning, self-agency, social interaction, and multiliteracy in their students. The final week will be dedicated to reflection, allowing participants to consolidate their learning and share insights gained during the course.
