Part of the project iLEGEND II, The North-South Centre of the Council of Europe has launched a call for proposals to support the implementation of Follow-up Youth Initiatives to be carried out by participants of the online/residential training courses on Global Education(GE)/Global Development Education(GDE), with the objective to apply the acquired knowledge and tools to further promote and raise awareness about GE/GDE among young people.
The call for grant is addressed to representatives of legally constituted non-governmental organisations and/or education practitioners supported by public education entities from the 47 Council of Europe Member States. However, 25% of the places are made available for applicants from other countries.
Furthermore, the applicants must have finalised the four modules of the e-learning course on Global Education. This course offers presentations, interactive information, videos, podcasts, reflective exercises and self-learning assessment tools providing the knowledge and competences needed to best implement Global Education and inspire people to become active agents of global change! If you did not enrol yet in the course, there is still time to do so: each module is estimated to be completed in 60 minutes.
The purpose of the Project is to co-fund Follow-up Youth Initiatives to be carried out by participants of the online/residential training courses on Global Education/Global Development Education organised in the framework of iLEGEND II projects.
In particular, it aims to give to the aforementioned participants the opportunity to apply the acquired knowledge and tools, thus to further promote and raise awareness about Global Education/Global Development Education among young people within their constituencies.
