About

The “Learners to Leaders: Nurturing Change Makers through Global Citizenship Education” empowers Global Citizenship Education (GCED) practitioners from formal (research, scholar, teacher, teachers in training etc.) and informal education (training specialists, program coordinators, community specialists, volunteers, etc.) in Europe, Africa, and Asia.

Through virtual roundtables and workshops, the GCED practitioners gain knowledge on GCED research from experts, skills in project management and implementation, and exchange with peers in a cross-national network.
