The Emerald Handbook on Teaching Global Competencies: Theoretical Perspectives and Practical Applications Inside and Outside the Classroom
Worldwide, educational institutions at every level are increasingly recognizing that learners must cultivate and demonstrate key global competencies - skills that seamlessly translate across work, academic, and community settings. Offering a timely and rigorously researched exploration into the future of learning, The Emerald Handbook on Teaching Global Competencies redefines citizenship by revealing how cultural, linguistic, and technological transformations are reshaping our collective identity and suggests that education must transcend traditional, geographically bound disciplines to fully equip learners for the challenges and opportunities of a rapidly evolving global landscape.
In this comprehensive work, interdisciplinary research meets practice. The Emerald Handbook on Teaching Global Competencies champions an integrated approach that fosters emotional and social intelligence, creative problem solving, and interdisciplinary thinking, while also valuing transcultural insights and Indigenous knowledge. Through a rich array of case studies, empirical research, and innovative pedagogies, chapter authors demonstrate how dynamic, multimodal, lifelong learning environments can cultivate the key global competencies needed to bridge cultural divides, empower communities, and promote sustainable development.
An essential resource for academics, educators, and policymakers, this volume offers not only a critical synthesis of theory and practice but also an inspiring vision for reimagining educational spaces. Chapter authors challenge conventional models and call for a transformative rethinking of what it means to be educated in the 21st century, where learning is a catalyst for creating resilient, inclusive, and globally engaged communities.
