A special GLEN seminar - the European Global Education Days (EGEDs) will take place from November 11-16 in South-West-Germany and Strasbourg, France.
What are the European Global Education Days (EGEDs)
The EGEDs (financed by the “Europe for Citizens” Programme) are GLENs main Global Education event this year. It is the time to evaluate GLEN's various Global Education activities, to further develop GLEN's Global Education concept together with different experts, to plan and network for future actions and last but not least to celebrate 5 years anniversary of GLEN.
What actually is GLEN
GLEN is a joint non-profit, politically independent initiative of twelve organizations from the European Union. It aims at contributing to a better understanding of global interdependencies, fair and sustainable ways of living, to a responsible development policy and to North-South relations based upon equal partnership and mutual respect. GLEN intends to acheive its goals by enabling young people to spend three months internships in African and Asian NGOs and to get involved in active realization of Global Education activities after their return back to Europe.
Where do the European Global Education Days take place
The main days of the seminar, 11-15th of November, will take place in Berschweiler-Marpingen, South-West-Germany, ca. 30 km from Saarbrücken and the border to France. At the 15th of November the whole group will move to Strasbourg, France, for one more day in order to participate at the European Development Days, hosted by the European Comission (http://www.eudevdays.eu/).The results of five years‘ inlvolvement in Global Education in Europe will be shown and accompanied by several street actions and exhibitions in the centre of Strasbourg.
