In the framework of the project “iLEGEND II: Intercultural Learning Exchange through Global Education, Networking and Dialogue (2019-2022)”, Joint programme of the European Union and the Council of Europe for the promotion of Global Education/Global Development Education (GE/GDE), seven Follow-up Youth Initiatives have been supported by the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe. These initiatives were aimed at promoting and raising awareness about Global Education/Global Development Education among young people.

The initiatives, selected among the twenty-seven proposals received, took place in Serbia, Slovenia, Tunisia and United-Kingdom, from the 1st of May to the 31st of August 2022. Many activities, such as training courses, seminars, workshops, awareness-raising actions, and online events, targeted directly young people and educational practitioners. These initiatives tackled relevant issues related to Global Education, such as climate change, SDGs, media literacy, digital citizenship, gender mainstream and sustainability.

The seven organisations supported by the Follow-up Youth Initiatives 2022 successfully achieved their objectives, promoting Global Education among young people, supporting the development of new skills and competences for educational practitioners, and reaching out about 250 direct beneficiaries through their initiatives.
