November 18-26: Global Education Week

The Global Education Week encourages pupils and teachers as well as youth groups to explore educational activities for global citizenship.

It is a matter of addressing issues of diversity and inequality at the local as well as at the global level with an understanding of the core issues of global citizenship:
 awareness of the wider world and of our own role as a world citizens;
 attitudes of respect for diversity and intercultural communication skills;
 ability to take action to make the world a more equitable and sustainable place;
 responsibility for our own actions.

The Global Education Week encourages young people, head teachers, teachers to implement a global education project in their schools, reflecting on how to address exclusion and inequality and discussing globalisation.
