Educational mission “Global learning”
“All civilisations share the same hope of a (more just and peaceful) future.” The paradigm defined by Gottfried Mergner – whose early death robbed the world of a dynamic force in international educational research – is today more topical than ever. For evidence, one just has to look at the essays in this book, published to mark the 25th anniversary of the German educational journal Zeitschrift für internationale Bildungsforschung und Entwicklungspädagogik. All the contributions selected by Lang-Wojtasik and Lohrenscheit are taken from the journal. The periodical as a font and incubator of new ideas, has done a commendable job of laying solid foundations for intercultural and global learning.
This is a book that belongs on the shelves wherever thought is given to ways of making life on Earth more humane, just and democratic.
