Learning values:
As the United Nations sets the 2030 Development Goals, a common challenge that countries across the globe grapple with is about how to ensure the just, secure and peaceful world.. About a quarter of the world’s population lives in disadvantaged cities where conflict and security are key issues and the UN projects this percentage to increase to 70% in 2030. This presents a challenge to governments and states as they need to not only plan for world progress through the achievement of the new UN Goals but also design a robust program on leadership, education, human rights and diplomacy will meet and answer the social needs of people, offer them a good quality of life and would be robust enough to grow sustainably with a smaller ecological footprint.
Purposes:
By participating in this program, they will: (1) acquire greater awareness of the importance of leadership, education, human rights, peace and diplomacy in ensuring a just, secure and peaceful world; (2) learn more about Spain and Europe’s approaches to world development challenges; (3) explore how governments and international organizations built a designed to balance the needs and aspirations of a diverse population and meet the challenges of an ageing population; (4) promote an environmentally sustainable lifestyle; and (5) through a learner-centered approach, delegates will also be challenged to hone critical thinking and communication skills and acquire knowledge and articulate ideas that can be applicable in local context.
