About the Toolkit

The Interdependence: Global Solidarity and Local Actions Toolkit is an award winning open-access, on-line teaching and learning resource that brings together educators, organizers, and learners who all share a commitment to building more just, inclusive, and sustainable communities.

The Toolkit is currently edited and maintained by the following co-editors:

Eric Hartman, Executive Director, Center for Peace and Global Citizenship, Haverford College

Samantha Brandauer, Associate Provost and Executive Director, Center for Global Study and Engagement, Dickinson College

Nedra Sandiford, Administrative Director Dickinson in Spain, Dickinson College

At the time of creation in spring 2020 the Toolkit was co-created, curated, and edited by staff, administrators, and faculty representing a range of institutions and organizations. We share their logos below:

These resources are intended as open-access reading and teaching materials, geared toward robust global civic literacy and capacities for informed, ethical action that supports just, inclusive, and sustainable communities.

Anyone is welcome to use these resources, in whole or in part. Please cite as indicated at the bottom of each page.

Many community organizers, faculty, and facilitators are using these modules for particular courses or training programs. The core content is on this website so that it can be maximally open-access, but your particular questions, reflection sessions, and – if applicable – grades will typically occur in your own space, whether that’s through Whatsapp, Google Classroom, Moodle, or something else. Faculty and facilitators may also, of course, supplement or adapt the content available here. Independent individuals are welcome to self-pace through these resources.
