A Educação para a Cidadania Global vem emergindo como dimensão importante na cultura de cidadania crítica na escola. Esta comunicação, no âmbito do projeto Conectando Mundos (baseado numa plataforma online), integrado na Rede de Educação para a Cidadania Global (RECG) – uma comunidade de aprendizagem agrupando dezenas de professores de todo o país – avalia a participação dos jovens no projeto, a usabilidade da plataforma e as perceções dos professores envolvidos. Conclui-se que, com limitações, o projeto contribuiu para a tomada de consciência dos jovens sobre as problemáticas sociais tratadas, para desenvolver a RECG, designadamente a dinâmica local associada a esta escola.
Global Citizenship Education (GCE) has emerged as an important framework for schools’ contribution towards an active and critic citizenship. This paper focuses on a research held with students of a Portuguese school within the international project Connecting Worlds (based on an online digital platform). This was an activity from the Portuguese GCE Network, a community of practice composed by teachers around educational activities focused on global citizenship of tenths of educators and teachers from the whole country. It was sought young participation in the project, the usability of the platform and to know the involved teachers’ assessment, and their will to go on again next year. Thus, it was concluded that the Connecting Worlds project contributed to the awareness of young people in relation to addressed social issues, to consolidate and develop the GCE Network, including the local dynamics associated with this school.
