November is just around the corner and so is a new edition of the Global Education Week. It will be an opportunity for many actors (Non-Governmental Organisations, teachers, educators, governments...) to celebrate and promote Global Education from 15 to 21 November, as a tool for world awareness and dialogue. 

The Global Education Week is a world wide awareness raising campaign and a call to rethink our world together, using Global Education as a tool for solidarity and change. It calls each of us to play our 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.

As in previous years, under the motto “It’s our world, let’s take action together!”, the Global Education Week 2021 will promote the activities proposed by the Global Education Network and participating organisations under the overarching theme of the Sustainable Development Goals.

To officially launch the preparation of activities that will lead to the Week, an online participatory info session will be held on 27 October, 3 pm CET. 

This 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 its Global Education Network.  

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, join us at the Info session and find out how you can play an active role in shaping our society and making it a more sustainable and equitable one. 

During the first part of the session, the North South Centre of the Council of Europe 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.
