100 Years of Volkshochschule in Germany

Community-based adult education is an important component working towards a system of lifelong learning. Institutions of education, training and learning change in many respects in the age of globalization and digitalization. But in as much as we believe in the importance of kindergarten, schools, vocational and higher education and struggle to support them as institutions, adult education also needs an institutional back-up.

Walk the Global Walk

Walk the Global Walk

Walk the Global Walk (WtGW) is a EU Development Education and Awareness Raising (DEAR) Fund grant, which utilises Global Citizenship Education (GCE) to engage and mobilise young people to affect change. The research project runs from 2017-2021, and is led jointly by Oxfam in Italy, and the Region of Tuscany. The total grant is €2,830,235 of €270,000 has been allocated to the work of University of Glasgow. The WtGW project is co-ordinated in Scotland by Dr Ria Dunkley and Dr Ines Alves (University of Glasgow, School of Education), with support from Ben Murphy (Research Assistant) and Lesley Atkins (Education Officer).By localising the sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the project aims to create new educational models addressing issues associated with climate change, sustainable development, and our natural environment. Key global issues relating to migration, climate change and gender equality are being adapted to fit into the formal education curriculum across the 11 participating countries (Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, France, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Scotland and Wales).

In collaboration with Oxfam Italy and the European Union the project connects local authorities, schools, and communities to promote action on three SDGs. Now in its third year, the WTGW project is focusing on SDG 16 ‘Peace, justice and strong institutions’. Last year (2020), the team at the University of Glasgow and Glasgow city council co-organised and participated in several events and activities corresponding to SDG 13 ‘Climate action’.

Articles on various aspects of the project can be found here:

Impact study: British Council school programmes in Scotland

This project involves a team of researchers in the School of Education with Professor Kay Livingston as PI and is co-led by Professor Catherine Doherty with Professor Trevor Gale, Dr Stephen Parker, and both Dr Ria Dunkley and Dr Catherine Lido of CR&DALL all as co-Is. They have been commissioned to conduct a study for the British Council to assess the impact of their programmes in Scotland. The British Council currently work with approximately a third of all schools in Scotland, through their Erasmus+, Connecting Classrooms, eTwinning and Modern Language Assistants programs. The project will involve both quantitative analysis of existing data sets and interviews with principals, teachers and students in differently positioned schools  to evidence and evaluate any impact these programmes are having on curriculum, pedagogy and ultimately achievement levels.  In particular, it will explore whether these programmes contribute to the goals of Scottish Governments’ Attainment Challenge.

One of the main contribution from the CR&DALL team will be the use of an extensive dataset supplied by the Scottish Government on school pupils gathered from its contribution to the Education, Place and Disadvantage project within the Urban Big Data Centre, details of which are found at this link.
