Download or read book Engaging People in Sustainability written by Daniella Tilbury and published by IUCN. This book was released on 2004 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is based on the exchange of professional experiences which featured in an IUCN CEC workshop in August 2002. Practitioners from around the world shared their models of good practice and explored the challenges involved in engaging people in sustainability. The difficulties facing practitioners vary between country and context but some challenges are universal: A lack of clarity in communicating what is meant by sustainable development; An ambition to educate everyone to bring about a global citizenship; Social, organisational or institutional factors constrain change to sustainable development, yet there is an emphasis on formal education, and community educators do not receive the same support; A lack of balance in addressing the integration of environmental, social and economic dimensions leading to an interpretation that ESD is mainly about environment and conservation issues; New learning (rather than teaching) approaches are called for to promote more debate in society. Yet, few are trained or experienced in these new approaches. Practitioners need support to explore new ways of promoting learning. [Foreword, ed].

Download or read book Educaci n inclusiva written by Ester Caparrós Martín and published by Ediciones Octaedro. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Como el título de la obra ya advierte, este libro se presenta como un desafío y, al mismo tiempo, como una oportunidad para pensar conjuntamente sobre los asuntos que en él se abordan: la inclusión y la innovación educativa en la formación inicial de docentes. En los diferentes textos que lo componen, se recoge el trabajo realizado por un grupo de profesoras y profesores de distintas universidades de España (Málaga, Cádiz y Almería) e Italia (RomaTre y La Sapienza), que se enfrentan al reto de mantener vivo el deseo de enseñar y aprender el oficio docente desde planteamientos alternativos a la mera cualificación técnica que parece imperar en nuestro panorama educativo. Supone también una oportunidad para reinventarnos de forma colaborativa y propiciar un "hacer docente" con sentido transformador y con un decidido compromiso por lo público. A través de sus páginas, se pone a disposición del lector y la lectora una pluralidad de experiencias y propuestas innovadoras que muestran una apertura hacia las necesidades reales que acontecen más allá de los muros del aula y que conectan con el más profundo sentido de ser docente. Desde estas premisas, el trabajo presentado invita al cultivo de pensamiento y a la apuesta por acciones en red en el amplio escenario de la formación universitaria, convirtiéndose en ese pequeño brote en el asfalto que ilustra la portada a modo de metáfora, capaz de abrir caminos hacia nuevas maneras de mirar los espacios formativos y la educación.

Download or read book Location Based Marketing written by Gérard Cliquet and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Location-based Marketing outlines the main concepts, methods and strategies for implementing spatial marketing, also known as geomarketing. With an emphasis on the value of mapping in marketing decision-making, this book demonstrates the importance of a more spatialized view of these decisions, in order to best respond to market realities whether local or international. The main techniques of geomarketing are presented along with an understanding of the spatial behavior of consumers, both outside the point of sale and in stores. The book further introduces the idea of a "geomarketing mix", which spatializes product innovations, merchandising, pricing and various aspects of promotion. Finally, the book defines what real georetailing comprises and develops the concept of mobile marketing based on geolocation techniques.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like a giant oil tanker, the world is slowly turning. The rapid growth of economies in Asia and the global South has led to a momentous shift in the world order, leaving much of the traditional literature on globalization behind. Multipolar Globalization: Emerging Economies and Development is the perfect guide to these ongoing 21st-century transformations, combining engaging and wide-ranging coverage with cutting-edge analysis. The rise of China and other emerging economies has led to the emergence of a new geography of trade, new economic and political combinations, new financial actors, investors and donors, and weaker American hegemony. This interdisciplinary volume combines development studies, global political economy, sociology, and cultural studies to ask what this growth means for domestic and global inequality and examines the role of multipolarity in the reshaping of globalization. Renowned globalization scholar Jan Nederveen Pieterse deftly guides the reader through the development of globalization in the West and the East, explaining key topics such as the 2008 crash, trends in inequality, the changing fortunes of the BRICs, and the role of governance and democracy. Accessible and insightful, this book will be an essential guide for both students in the social sciences and for professionals and scholars seeking a fresh perspective.

Download or read book Los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible hoja de ruta en la educaci n del siglo XXI written by Montserrat Vargas Vergara and published by Ediciones Octaedro. This book was released on 2021-05-01 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Se trata de una obra que surge del trabajo y reflexión de un equipo de docentes universitarios que confían en los efectos de la educación como agente transformador. Los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) no son una tendencia, son una necesidad urgente ante un planeta que se agota y una sociedad que agoniza y que requiere cambios urgentes y a todos los niveles. No hay versión 2.0 de nuestro planeta; por lo tanto, no hay elección. La preocupación sobre qué planeta estamos dejando a nuestros hijos, debe tornar hacia qué hijos estamos dejando al planeta. La inclusión de los ODS en el currículum académico de todos los niveles educativos es una necesidad que debe comenzar por la formación de los docentes. Las personas que se acerquen a esta lectura podrán encontrar propuestas metodológicas de fácil aplicación en el ámbito educativo y social. Dentro y fuera de las aulas. Dirigido a docentes, dirigentes y ciudadanos que quieran contribuir a la mejora de la sociedad y la educación, esta obra ejemplifica en gran medida el ODS 17: "Alianzas para lograr los Objetivos", lo cual es necesario y posible de una forma sencilla y a muy bajo coste. Sin dudas, este libro no posee la intención de fijar propuestas educativas a modo de receta. Es el resultado de una innovación docente y ofrece orientaciones, ejemplos reales y prácticos de cómo acercar los ODS y la sostenibilidad a las aulas en general y a las universitarias en particular, con diversas metodologías y escenarios educativos. Partimos del papel transformador y social que posee la Universidad en su labor y función de dar respuestas a los grandes retos que debemos afrontar hoy y en nuestro futuro más inmediato. Creemos que esta obra contribuye en gran medida a lograr una sociedad que requiere una nueva ciudadanía y nos obliga a un cambio de paradigma en la educación.

Download or read book Bodies in Resistance written by Wendy Harcourt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of the emerging new research on civic innovation, this book explores how sexual politics and gender relations play out in feminist struggles around body politics in Brazil, Colombia, India, Iran, Mexico, Nepal, Turkey, Nicaragua, as well as in East Africa, Latin America and global institutions and networks. From diverse disciplinary perspectives, the book looks at how feminists are engaged in a complex struggle for democratic power in a neoliberal age and at how resistance is integral to possibilities for change. In making visible resistances to dominant economic and social policies, the book highlights how such struggles are both gendered and gendering bodies. The chapters explore struggles for healthy environments, sexual health and reproductive rights, access to abortion, an end to gender-based violence, the human rights of LGBTIQA persons, the recognition of indigenous territories and all peoples’ rights to care, love and work freely. The book sets out the violence, hopes, contradictions and ways forward in these civic innovations, resistances and connections across the globe.
