Varis Unesco/IITE St Petersburg UNESCO WCHE 2009 Social responsibility of higher education: “Higher education institutions, through their core functions (research, teaching and service to the community) carried out in the context of institutional autonomy and academic freedom, should increase their interdisciplinary focus and promote critical thinking and active citizenship”

Varis Unesco/IITE St Petersburg UNESCO WCHE 2009 International cooperation in higher education should be based on solidarity and mutual respect and the promotion of humanistic values and intercultural dialogue.

Varis Unesco/IITE St Petersburg Contribution to a world civic culture The objective is to create a peaceful, inter- dependent world which would be a good place for people to live. No one society can impose a universal order acceptable to all other societies. The creation of species identity that will encompass cultural diversity is a major challenge (Elise Boulding 1988 – teacher education)

Varis Unesco/IITE St Petersburg

9 From Industrial to Knowledge Societies UNESCO (2005): there is a general agreement on the expression ”knowledge societies” but not of the content of it

Varis Unesco/IITE St Petersburg Knowledge for What? Are we endorsing the hegemony of the techno-scientific model in defining legitimate and productive knowledge? Should the term “Digital Age” be replaced by multicultural world? The spirit of knowledge sharing and caring New humanism

Varis Unesco/IITE St Petersburg Media literacy and New Humanism UNESCO Institute for Information Technologies in Education J. M. Pérez Tornero/ Tapio Varis 2010

Varis Unesco/IITE St Petersburg Trends in Technology and Education Global trends and multicultural world: universal vs unique Working-life realities: multicultural competence building, open innovations, open learning, financial restraints Digital technology convergence: the need for media literacy Learning at workplace, by coaching, and in institutions (formula 70%-20%-10%)

New humanistic awareness NEW HUMANISM Human being over technology Critical to technology Autonomy over global communication Diversity Universal rights and responsibilities OLD HUMANISM Human being over theology Critical to classic texts Discovery of self New world Cosmopolitanism

Varis Unesco/IITE St Petersburg New Renaissance Education ( The study of complexity has brought science closer than ever to art Knowledge has gone through a cycle from non-specialism to specialism, and now back to interdisciplinarity, even transdisciplinarity Art deals with the sensual world (media as the extension of senses) and the holistic concept of human being

Varis Unesco/IITE St Petersburg Communication and Media Literacy The most important skills of the future would be communication skills in a multicultural world E-learning in a narrow sense seems to have passed its peak and is on the decline. We are now moving towards a more societal or communitarian activity with social web, blogs, and wiki Media literacy becomes a right to people

Varis Unesco/IITE St Petersburg Varis Unesco/IITE Understanding Media Literacy Media Literacy Media education Democracy Right of information Regulatory authorities Family education Informal education Formal education Teaching ethics and values Interaction with the media Participation and active citizenship Freedom of expression Participation in the public sphere Intercultural dialogue Professionals Values Audiovisual literacy. Digital literacy Reading and writing literacy Critical and creative abilities and skills Analysis Critical thinking Personal autonomy Creative and production skills Evaluation Technical skillsSemiotic and cultural skills Communicative skills Access Solving problems Informed selection

Varis Unesco/IITE St Petersburg The Evolution of Digital Literacy Phase 1: Access and connectivity Phase 2: Basic internet use and more sophisticated and sustainable digital competences Phase 3: Critical thinking, trust, confidence and multiplatform use - community building (social web) - multicultural competence

Varis Unesco/IITE St Petersburg Global Education as a concept means activity that guides towards the ethic of a world citizen, which in turn is founded on fairness and respect for human rights supports growth into a critical and media-critical citizen with the knowledge and skills to succesfully act as a member of one's own community in a globalising world
