Course/Module description:
In this course we intend to deep our understanding on globalization processes from a economic, political and cultural point of view and their contribution to increasing migration flows. We will discuss the way these processes as well as new information and communication technologies shape the identity of young people and migrants nowadays. Then we will focus on the construction of the identity of migrant children and how education systems in Israel and in the world deal with ethnic and racial diversity in schools.

Course/Module aims:
To develop among students a complex and critical view of globalization processes (economic, political, cultural and social – migration) and to provide them with tools to handle the increasing heterogeneity of student population in education systems

Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
To characterize economic globalization

To define the global labor market and elaborate how it influences the skills needed by workers in the global era and the way education systems attempt to respond to these needs

to describe how globalization processes encourage migration

To point to the different ways international organizations impact political, economical and social decisions at the state level

To explain how NICT influence social relationships and the way youth identity and particularly, young migrants identity is constructed .

To present the different types of identities that young immigrants develop in the global era (hybrid, transnational, cosmopolitan)

to differentiate between the various kinds of immigrants and to characterize each one of the groups (undocumented, refugees, labor migrants)

to analyze how education systems deal with the large heterogeneity of their student population

To exemplify how developing a global consciousness among young people can contribute to solve problems resulting from globalization in general and neoliberal economy in particular.
