Global Education Week
Connected People for an Inclusive Planet.
18 to 24 November 2024
Global Education helps learners to develop individual and collective responses to social, ecological, political, economic, and ethical issues of common concern. It mobilises commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and in particular SDG 4.7: Education for sustainable development and global citizenship.
The Global Education Week is part of iLEGEND III: Intercultural Learning Exchange through Global Education, Networking and Dialogue, Joint programme of the European Union and the Council of Europe: co-funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe and implemented by the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe. The campaign is implemented in participating countries by the Global Education Network.
It is an annual worldwide awareness raising initiative unfolding during the third week of November. It is a call to rethink our world together, using Global Education as a tool for solidarity and change and contribute to a more and sustainable and equitable world. In preparation and during the Week solutions are shared to rethink our habits and ways of living, spending, and consuming but also finding new ways of education and socialisation.
Following the same structure used in previous years (a specific theme focused on two of the five pillars of the 2030 Agenda), the 2024 annual theme focuses on the 2 Ps: People and Planet. The slogan for this 2024 edition is "Connected People for an Inclusive Planet."
