Global Education Forum

New educational model

" Fundación SEK wants to propose to all social agents a "great conversation" about the necessity, and urgency, of creating a new educative model that responds to the deep transformations of our time.

This is the era of the digital natives. A generation that grows around a technological society that exceeds the old cultural patterns of the industrial society.

A time that digital natives and digital immigrants coexists, and so we must asume to understand the changes that are taking place and participate actively in them.

We are invited to participate in this forum because we are all affected by the creation of a new education paradigma, suited to the demands of a global and post industrial society. There is time to face the challenge of the change and exploit the changes offered in this new educative scenario."

Human Rights of Migrants

Introduction to the topic:
Today, some 200 million people live outside their countries of birth or nationality. That would
be the fifth most populous country in the world if all of the people were together in the territory of one State. Because they are outside the legal protection of their countries of nationality, international migrants can be particularly vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. Migrants are too often seen as exploitable and expendable, a source of cheap, docile and flexible labour, constrained to “3-D” work or working conditions: dirty, dangerous and degrading, that nationals are unavailable for and/or unwilling to accept.
As a result, basic human rights of migrants are too easily violated or ignored.

What is ethics

It's a branch of philosophy that covers a whole family of things that have a real importance in everyday life.

Ethics covers the following dilemmas:

• how to live a good life
• our rights and responsibilities
• the language of right and wrong
• moral decisions - what is good and bad?
