- About
Collaborative Activities for Exploring Global Social Justice shares intercultural and social justice-focused activities developed through the Global Social Justice in Education (GSJE) project—a virtual international community of practice launched during the COVID-19 pandemic. The book is grounded in theoretical frameworks such as intercultural competence, cultural humility, and social justice education, and highlights the implementation and impact of these activities across global educational contexts. Designed for educators, researchers, and policymakers, this book offers adaptable, practice-based resources for fostering inclusive and equitable learning environments while promoting dialogue across cultural boundaries.
Built on the experiences of a global virtual community of practice (GSJE), this book provides 23 adaptable activities that guide participants in examining identity, confronting systemic inequities, and imagining their roles as changemakers in educational and social contexts.
