Field, level, and objectives of the study• Education and teacher training • The primary goal of the project is to increase competencies for

young leaders in global education • The targets are undergraduate students that will become teachers

in primary and secondary education.• Through this program, students are able to learn about curricular

and instructional aspects of global education, and experience international school systems.

• Institutions in both Korea and the EU consortium will co-operate on the development and implementation of a curriculum on international education, and provide students with opportunities to obtain knowledge and skills for fulfilling International Education.

• The long term goal is that the experience of developing and implementing global education courses together can lead to dual degree programs in the future.

Global Education• KE-LeGE (KOR-EU Leaders for Global Education) means to foster the

educational practitioners of global education in Korea and EU countries. • Global education pursues the globalization and internationalization of

educational services. It offers educational services in developing knowledgeable young people who are aware of global issues, international culture sensitive, ready to help to create a better world of peace and mutual respect.

• The need for Global Education is born out of the irreversible process of globalization but on the same time Global Education promotes the process and opportunities of globalization.

• The Korean education system actively adapts global aspects in school activities. In the EU, the Bologna process member countries have delivered global education through the Bologna process. In order to adopt these movements effectively, it is crucial to have professional development for global education.

• Global Education has several sub-themes that are development education, human rights education, education for sustainable development, education for peace and conflict prevention and intercultural education.

• In order to make Global Education more widely employed, it is crucial to target future educational professionals who will be educating the future citizens. (Education for Global Responsibilities, 2007)

KE-LeGE means to increase competencies for practitioners of global education in Korea and EU countries.

The main principles of this proposal are from the framework of 21st-century skills (Cisco, 2010):

Ways of thinking Ways of working Tools for working Living in the world

-Creativity and innovation-Critical thinking, problem solving, decision making-Learning to learn, metacognition

-Communication-Collaboration team work

-Information literacy-Information and Communication technology (ICT) literacy

-Citizenship – local & global-Life and career-Personal and social responsibility-including cultural awareness and competence

-This list shows the competencies for 21st century students and global education in this project shares common ground for its direction. -This project is based on the latest research work of global education, learning sciences and educational technology that enables implementation of effective learning activities and development of curricular contents.

A. Activities• Student exchange - Exchange of 40 undergraduate students with focus on pedagogy

from each consortium. - Korean students will spend 5 months at hosting institutes taking courses in global education, English, and the local language as part of cultural learning, and teaching practice at local schools. - EU students will have a similar 4-month experience supported by local universities and communities. Students will be supported by cultural and linguistic education, and student services including housing, coaching, and social integration.

• Faculty member exchange - Mobility program for 24 EU faculty members (1-week stay) and 9

Korea faculty members (2-week stay) for co-teaching and collaborative research

- Joint seminar/conferences for sharing experiences and on-going evaluation of the project

• Development of courses for global educationCollaborative development and implementation of essential courses in Global Education

Strong points(based on EU evaluation report)

• Student teaching practice while abroad• Already existing collaboration between some

of the partners• Balanced participation among partners of

mobility activities• lnternational Office support

Weak points(based on EU evaluation report):

• Lack of detail in school assignments• The curriculum to be followed while at the host institution is not clear• Lack of detail on “Joint workshops” and the “international conference”• Confusion over the development of new courses• MOUs need developing, particularly with regard to academic

recognition and credit transfer• Lack of equality in student selection criteria• Lack of precision over Language issues• Overuse of popular keywords without precise meaning, e.g., what

does "globalisation of national and regional culture" main?

Things need to be followed and explained based on raports

A. General objectives• Describe what has been done to achieve the objectives of the

mobility project, the definition of the designated programme such as a specialisation if applicable, and its potential contribution to educational excellence and innovation, including the discipline.

• The project’s outcomes and long-term results for improving teaching and student achievement during the reporting period.

• The actions taking during the reporting period to ensure the added value for the proposed discipline and profession and the proposed mobility project compared with courses and programmes that may already exist in the same fields at national and international levels.

Things need to be followed and explained based on raports

B. Joint Mobility programme – describe the following aspects of the activities and the results achieved during the reporting period

• The mobility programme and how it is integrated among the consortia institution (including its work placement and internship elements, if any).

• The commitment and the formal administrative arrangements for the mobility programme as evidenced by letters from the highest administrative and academic levels at the partner institutions.

• The arrangement for academic credits, including, if applicable, the extent to which ECTS mechanisms such as the grading scale and other mechanisms for study periods compatible with ECTS will be used.

• The co-operative mechanisms and administrative structure for institutionalisation, meetings, roles for partners, and communications.

Things need to be followed and explained based on raports

C. Mobile Students and Faculty members - describe the following aspects of the activities and the results achieved during the reporting period

• The arrangements for tuition and fees. • The consortium structure and mechanisms for student and

faculty mobility between host institutions.• The language plan, particularly, the use of training facilities,

mentors and tutors, and local language resources.• The resources available for hosting foreign students and faculty

members, particularly, the availability of an office and persons dedicated to linguistic assistance, housing, coaching, visas and insurance , and activities for social integration.

D. Evaluation and Dissemination - describe the following aspects of the activities and the results achieved during the reporting period

• The evaluation plan, including an evaluation of the project upon completion, feedback mechanisms, and assessments by independent entities.

• The plans for promoting and disseminating the results of the project as well as for ensuring its sustainability after the end of the funding period.

Things need to be followed and explained based on raports

Recognition of credit• Recognition of credit for periods of study and training is a crucial

component in successful Joint Mobility projects. ICI-ECP is intended to provide support to projects setting up a framework for student mobility with full recognition of the study period abroad.

• The focus of the proposed project must be a coherent programme of study with full recognition of the study abroad period by the home institution. In order to assure that students do not increase the length of their programme of study, applicants should secure administrative assurances from their home institutions that students’ study and work abroad will be fully credited upon their return.

• Applicants, must submit a formal signed agreement (memorandum of understanding) for credit recognition and protocols for study or work placement from all participating institutions if possible together with the application, and in any case, before the start of the mobility.
