Internationalisation, globalisation and glocalization are terms often associated with the phenomena of interconnectivity between people and countries and how local development influences other far-off communities and vice versa. However, for global sustainable development, the concept of a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind and human planetization would go further. There is an urgent need to take community action in a planetary sense towards a common vision covering the entire surface of the planet, emerging through interaction and rapid transmission of thought, towards collectivization and ever-increasing unification.
Intercultural learning within the concepts of a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind and human planetization is essential for educators and students in the curriculum design, educational vision, planning and implementation of intercultural awareness, with practical skills and critical thinking. Cultures of learning is an approach to examine taken-for-granted socialized ways of learning and teaching, to share, communicate and develop with others who may have different cultures of learning.
This approach enhances evaluation competence, implements intercultural learning skills, and develops qualified citizenship for the sustained shared future of this diverse and changing planet.
This presentation will put Cultures of Learning and intercultural learning in the context of a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind. It emphasizes a need for participants, locally and internationally, to learn about each other’s cultures of learning and develop learning with and through repertoires of cultures to become citizens to achieve human planetization. Thus, one way to achieve intercultural learning is to engage productively in learning Cultures of learning. Researched examples of diverse cultures of learning show how intercultural learning could become more effective, to value varied human resources and achieve new cultures of learning in the ever developing world.
