Global Education Week 2008 edition
The 10th annual European Global Education Week (GEW) took place from the 15^th to the 23^rd  of November, at the initiative of the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe. Global Education Week (also known in some countries as One World Week) supports teachers, youth leaders, young people and other formal and non-formal educational constituencies to engage in education for global citizenship; and enhances the effectiveness of this endeavour nationally and throughout Europe, through co-ordination of initiatives and sharing of best practices. All schools and youth organisations in the Council of Europe’s member States, as well as all interested educational practitioners, were invited to take part in this event which should be seen as a kick off event for a year round process. The GEW coincided this year with the European Development Days, held in Strasbourg from 15-17 November, where the NSC was represented and participated in the European Consensus on Education for Development side event under the theme The Role of Local Authorities and other Actors in DE.
