Global Education across the boarders - A network of Central European organisations for strengthening cross-boarder activities on Global Education

Global education represents a new perspective in education. The pedagogical approach of global education contributes to the understanding of current global interdependencies, individual and social responsibilities and the dangers posed by globalization. There is a political consensus in the four partner countries concerning the strengthening of the role global education should play within general education. The headquarters of each participating organization are located in the Central European region (Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia), and their main activities consist of global and development education, awareness raising.The four partner organisations started to build up a network of Global Education Resource Centres in 2008 , as an instrument for spreading information on global issues, interdependencies, migration, social justice, trade, environmental issues to a broader group of people in the societies of the four countries.The Learning Partnership project is designed to increase this cooperation by sharing of experiences (activity 1: Study Visits), by educating staff for a professional support in Global Education Resource Centers (activity 2: helpdesk) by developing a joint cross-boarder database (activity 3: database on experts and events) and an exhibition (activity 4: poster exhibition on global challenges) for a future more intensive cross-border cooperation in the sector.
