People, communities, cultures, and countries are more connected with others across the globe than they have ever been. Globalization, however, is not without problems, both ethical and social. This workshop will explore the global and local dimensions of social, historical and cultural issues that shape us, with a particular lens on how schools and educators act as mediators in these issues.
