Presentation
The new version of the Global Education Guidelines builds on previous editions and on a permanent consultative process opened to formal and non-formal educators and practitioners from different cultural and geographical backgrounds, and will remain an on-going pedagogical process, object of regular updates in order to keep educators’ competences responsive to new challenges.
The drafting process of this new version involved i) an expert from the drafting team of the first GEG version; ii) a Council of Europe expert involved in the drafting of the Reference Framework of Competences for Democratic Culture [RFCDC]; iii) a senior trainer in the field of Global Education, Intercultural Education and Global Citizenship Education, contributing thus to the Council of Europe objectives for the promotion of democratic culture and intercultural dialogue.
It will serve also as the North-South Centre reference pedagogical tool within its Global Education programme advocacy and capacity-building activities for global citizenship, namely its regional seminars and workshops, and its residential and on-line courses, which will be complemented by a Massive Open Online Course.
