GloPEG - Global Primary School Education Gießen
The project GloPEG – Global Primary School Education Giessen has the goal to professionalize primary school teaching students at the Justus Liebig University Giessen regarding “global citizenship” by internationalizing course offerings.
In regards of increasing migration and globalization processes, a central challenge of primary school teacher education is dealing with (cultural) heterogeneity and the preparation of future teachers for the beforementioned. We regard intercultural perspectives and international experiences as essential for the professionalization of future primary school teachers.
The GloPEG project has the goal to internationalize primary school teacher training at Justus Liebig University Giessen in order to qualify primary school teacher trainees regarding "global citizenship". Our international teaching program aims at the sustainable development of intercultural competencies of primary school teacher education students.
The GloPEG internationalization strategy
The internationalization strategy within the framework of the GloPEG project comprises a total of six levels, which are to be implemented in the short, middle, and long term respectively.
