The North-South Centre of the Council of Europe coordinates a grant scheme to support initiatives carried out in the framework of its annual campaign Global Education Week (GEW) from 15 to 21 November 2021, with the objective to raise awareness about global education/global development education in Europe, under the overarching GEW motto “ It’s our world, let’s take action together!”.

With a maximum amount of five thousand Euros each, the grants will be attributed to practitioners and activists to design, implement and carry out global education awareness raising initiatives and learning activities, during the GEW.

The GEW is a call to rethink our habits and ways of living, spending and consuming but also find new ways of education and socialisation. It relates to the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) that aim at eliminating extreme poverty, reduce inequalities and combat the threat of climate change by 2030.

* The Global Education Week and the associated grant are implemented in the framework of iLegend II - Intercultural Learning Exchange through Global Education, Networking and Dialogue (2019-2022), a Joint programme of the European Union and the Council of Europe for the promotion of Global Education/Global Development Education (GE/GDE), co-funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe and implemented by the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe.

Deadline for proposals’ submission is 26 July 2021.
