The final international event of Global Schools took place in Trento on 11-13 March 2018. All materials are collected here for those who were there, and those who were not.
Although, Global Citizenship Education (GCE) is becoming increasingly valued across the world as an educational approach that enables learners to face the challenges of an interconnected and complex world, there are several co-existing interpretations of global citizenship.
After three years of joint work in 10 EU countries, the Global Schools partnership promoted an event to investigate and acknowledge different perspectives, conceptions, practices, interpretations, encouraging a dialogue among various viewpoints.
Plenary sessions, workshops and video screening were participated by over 160 people from 13 countries. Among them teachers, civil society organisation practitioners, scholars, representatives of national and local authorities, as well as any other person engaged on issues such as active citizenship, education, sustainability, human rights, teachers’ training, local policies and much more.
The programme in short: 30 Speakers & Facilitators; 8 Workshops; 3 Plenary sessions; 7 Film and Videos; 1 Position Statement to sign

SESSION – Perspectives: This session investigated the perspectives of GCE in a twofold meaning. On the one hand, we asked ourselves what is the future for GCE: what practical and conceptual tools can we use to promote it, integrate it in educational systems, and in society in general? The second meaning was intended to stimulate the ability to recognise and enhance multiple perspectives, highlight different interpretations of GCE, the non-universality of the concept, and a variety of experiences from various backgrounds... and from different generations.
