Today we celebrate a special anniversary, five years since the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were agreed by 193 countries. There could not be a better opportunity to officially launch the preparation of activities that will lead to the Global Education Week 2020 (16-20 November 2020), starting from an online participatory info session, which will be held on 15 October, 3pm CET.
This first online gathering will be a moment to introduce all the novelties about this year’s Week. The event will be hosted jointly by the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe and the Global Education Network.
This year the Week will focus even more on pivoting the activities of the network and its partner organisations around the framework of the SDGs. Under the slogan “It’s our world, let’s take action together!”, the Global Education Week is a worldwide awareness raising initiative and a call to rethink our world together, using Global Education as a tool for solidarity and change. During the Week everyone is called to play their role as global citizens and contribute to a more sustainable and equitable world, by sharing solutions to rethink our habits and ways of living, but also finding new forms of education and socialisation.
Gathering and merging ideas is essential to the Global Education Week. Any parties interested can join this initiative by contacting the national coordinators of the network, to engage directly in some of the activities already planned or by proposing new ones.
To know more, please join us on the 15 October at the info session (3pm CET) and find out how you can play an active role in shaping our society and making it a more sustainable and equitable one.
The first part of the session, the NSC will provide a global overview of the activities planned for this year. Further on, two national coordinators from the network will talk about the specific set-up of the Week in their own countries. The session will then end with a Q&A, where speakers will answer the attendees' questions gathered during the session.
