Education for Global Responsibility II

“Education for Global Responsibility II” is a follow-up to the Strategic Partnership with the same title implemented by three partners in this consortium and led by the Danish United Nations Associations between 2015 and 2018. The first project gave qualitative results and showed that mainstreaming Global Responsibility in the youth sector is a need and interest. The partners in this consortium capitalise the results achieved in the previous project with the aim to strengthen global responsibility education in the youth sector across Europe. To reach their aim, the partners have agreed in the following objectives:1. By the end of the project, to enhance the capacity of at least 196 youth workers from all the partner organisations to promote Global Responsibility amongst young people in their local communities;2. By the end of the project, to certify at least 90 youth organisations across the consortium as Global Responsible institutions;3. To strengthen a pan-European partnership between stakeholders across sectors in mainstreaming global responsibility education in non-formal sector. The project will give the following results:1. 16 youth workers from Cyprus, Romania, Slovenia, Poland, Italy, Macedonia, UK and Germany trained to use the non-formal education methods in Global Responsibility Education.2. 16 youth workers trained to administrate the Certification System in Global Responsibility Education who will act for at least 12-months following the end of the project. 3. At least four other transnational initiatives that promote Global Responsibility Education and the Certification System;4. At least nine other best practices in Global Responsibility Education are shared amongst participants;5. at least 180 other youth workers in all the partner countries (20 youth workers/country) trained to include Global Responsibility education in their educational programmes from at least other 90 youth organisations from the partner countries. 6. At least 90 youth organisations certified as Global Responsible institutions. 7. A manual on Global Responsibility Education, including the 40 non-formal educational methods; a 3-day activity programme to promote global responsibility amongst young people and at least other 10 best practices in promoting/working with global responsibility education. 8. Different promotional materials for Global Responsibility; Global Responsibility Education and the Certification System. 9. A Charter on Global Responsibility Education that sets visions and actions for cross-sectorial global responsibility education, signed by at least 20 stakeholders from at least three sectors e.g. business; adult education, school sector, VET sector, decision makers. In terms of the impact, the project is expected to enhance the capacity of youth organisations in Europe to provide global responsibility education to young people leading to a strengthen non-formal education. At the same time, the participating and reached organisation shall revise their own routines/habits becoming an example of global responsible institutions. The young people reached through dissemination and multiplication activities shall strengthen a sense of global responsibility and skills to assess, from a global perspective, the effects of local actions and process, as well as Increased awareness about their individual and collective global responsibility. The consortium brings six partner organisations that did not take part in the previous project and three partners from the previous consortium. The consortium is a partnership between five youth organisations, three social enterprises and a research institute, being an example of a partnership to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals as agreed by the world, including EU, and stipulated in Agenda 2030.
