Historical Consciousness and Global Competence in Teacher Education

In this chapter we explore the interplay between global competencies and historical consciousness in teacher education. Italian and US American teacher education students participated in an intercultural virtual exchange, developing global competencies through a migration project-based learning experience. The affordances and challenges of this learning experience were revealed in the intercultural dialogue and in collaborative projects. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the pedagogical learning for future teachers and emphasized the importance of historical consciousness, values, and competencies to teaching globally.
