      COURSE DESCRIPTION 

      How can education contribute to a world with less poverty? How to contribute as individuals to the aims of SDGs 1 and 4?

       

      Primary SDGs 1 and 4

      SDG 1– End poverty in all its forms everywhere 

      SDG 4– Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all

       

       Problem Based Learning Methodology 

      1. Problematize to raise the analysis.  

      2. Group work on data collection, analysis, and presentations.  

      3. Dialogue with local interest groups and volunteering activities during individual classrooms.  

       

      PROBLEM STATEMENT 

      The causes of poverty must be seen closely related to a lack of education. It is a fact that missing (formal) qualifications reduce the chances to avoid the risk of poverty. Education and qualification can protect against poverty and inequality and even pave the way out of poverty.

      Those facts do not only concern people in developing countries, but also in the so-called rich countries where the system of (higher) education is mainly accessible for those who come from high-income families. Up to now there is an important link between education opportunities and social origins.

       

       Working questions:  

      • What are the aims of SDGs 1 and 4?
      • What is the country’s status on SDGs 1 and 4?
      • What global problems are there concerning SDGs 1 and 4?
      • How to poverty and a lack of education interact?
      • What (local) actions are there to fight poverty by providing education?
      • How can students as individuals contribute (locally) to a world with less poverty and improved educational opportunities?
