The project will also benefit: school authorities and public authorities in charge of education, policy makers at all levels as well as civil society actors that are working in the field of non-formal education.

The main objectives of the project is to:

  • Enhance the competences of teachers to understand and integrate global citizenship education in their teaching
  • Strengthen the provision of global citizenship education in schools with innovative methods, tools and resources

  • A toolkit for integrating Global Citizenship education in the teaching process
  • The Global citizenship education online platform where teachers can find resources, network and exchange experiences
  • Guidelines for school authorities on how to incorporate Global citizenship in school curricula
