World Council for Curriculum and Instruction WCCI 17 th World Conference in Education July 10-15, 2016 Danubius Hotel Flamenco, Conference Hotel Budapest, Hungary Conference Rationale The WCCI is a transnational educational organization committed to advancing the achievement of a just and peaceful world community through collaboration curriculum and instruction projects: dialogues on educational and social issues of a global nature; the exchange of ideas, concerns and solutions to problems and person-to-person contacts and professional relationships. It is a nongovernmental organization (NGO) of the United Nations in consultative status with UNESCO and the Economic Council (ECOSOC). Conference Theme: Educating for Democratic Governance and Global Citizenship The World Council for Curriculum and Instruction (WCI) is organizing the 17 th World Conference in Education around the theme of Educating for Democratic Governance and Global Citizenship. The purpose of this conference is to inspire and engage educators throughout the world in an exploration of Global Education focusing on the understanding of the working mechanisms of the world from global, holistic, multidisciplinary point of view: the economic social and environmental processes, connections, causes and effects of humankind. Educating for Democratic Governance and Global Citizenship means that education could produce new types of world citizens who are equally sensitive for the challenges of humanity and Planet Earth, who understand the democratic values and also have competencies, knowledge and skills that enable them to make responsible decisions in their individual and public actions. Educating for democratic governance and global citizenship at every stage of life could be one potential answer for these challenges. What are the enabling attributes of these three concepts? Such scholarly discussions are foundational to bringing about the dynamic educational transformation needed for creating a more peaceful 21 st century global society.
