Globalization is related to education in multiple forms. First of all, due to the centrality of knowledge to interpret and participate in both the changes, and in the processes of social, cultural, technological and economic transformation under way. Educational institutions, from basic to higher education, have been developing, on the one hand, educational policies of internationalization, namely through internships, partnerships and mobility programs, and on the other hand curricular contents and projects that seek to incorporate, to address and enable understanding of the main issues that are transversal to the world and to global phenomena. These two educational strands complement each other in this seminar, whose main objective is to think about the global phenomenon of education by developing critical thinking on the positive and negative aspects of the relationship between globalization and education and analysing, problematizing and reflecting on the indispensability of education and training in the construction of globalization and in the interpretation of global phenomena. For this, four thematic areas are presented, which, altogether, expose the complexity of education in the global context, helping students to develop the following competences:
 

Global Education
Intercultural Education
Internationalization
Mobility Programs

 
 To reflect on the processes of internationalization and mobility, at all educational levels and modalities.
 To critically analyse existing relationships between globalization and education
 To contribute to the training of professionals of education
 To develop and strengthen the relationships between educational institutions and communities.
 To develop research in global education, in education as a global phenomena and on the processes of internationalization and mobility, at all educational levels and modalities of teaching.
 To contribute to inclusion and equity in education.

E-learning

Throughout the modules there will be evaluation activities that include the preparation of essays, reviews or summaries, along with written reflection on experiences, which represent about 40% of the evaluation. The remaining 60% will be attributed to the evaluation of the final work. There are opportunities for learning and debate in all modules, but only three will be evaluated, so the student will have to choose whether to evaluate the second or fourth module.

The language of teaching is Portuguese, but most of the learning materials will be in English.
