OAS LAUNCHES COURSE ON TEACHING DEMOCRATIC CITIZENSHIP
August 24, 2009
Over 200 educators will participate in the second cohort of the distance course for Caribbean educators entitled ‘Education for Democratic Citizenship in the Caribbean’ (EDCC) commencing in early September 2009. Fifty educators from five (5) countries recently participated in the first phase of the cohort. The course is designed to ensure that the classroom can become an early incubator for the promotion of democratic cultural practices in and among emerging generations of Caribbean citizens. The distance course consists of two thirteen-week phases. The first one is an on-line course which will provide educators with the tools – knowledge and skills – needed to complete the second phase, and a follow-on practicum in their classrooms.
The course, which is being offered through The University of West Indies (UWI) Open Campus in Barbados, is part of a 3-year pilot project funded by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and administered by the Department of Education and Culture of the Organization of American States (OAS). The countries that participated in the course’s first cohort included Antigua and Barbuda, Grenada, Jamaica, St. Lucia and Trinidad and Tobago. Dominica is expected to join these five countries in the second cohort of the course.
The educators of the first cohort who successfully completed the first phase will be guided by mentors through a 13-week practicum. The OAS is currently working with key stakeholders across the Caribbean, including Ministries of Education, to promote the sustainability of these efforts after the pilot project ends in early-2010. More information on the course can be found at the following website: www.oas.org/en/sedi/dec/educadem/edcc
