The North South Centre of the Council of Europe is informing about the launching event for promoting global development education in the 12 new EU member States which will take place on 23-24 March 2009 in Budapest, Hungary. This event will be held in partnership with CONCORD and the Hungarian Association for Development and Humanitarian Aid (HAND) and is supported by the European Commission and the North-South Centre.
The objective is to bring together all relevant stakeholders in the field of global development education in a consultation process that will be followed up by 12 national seminars in all new member states in 2009-10, 3 sub-regional meetings (Baltic Sea Region, South East Europe/Mediterranean region, Visegrad countries) in 2010 – and eventually a pan European policy conference in 2011. All seminars should strategically contribute to the development of global development education in the new member states of the EU, and thus to the European development education multi stakeholder process and to the implementation of the European Development Education Consensus on national and regional level.
A concept paper that describes the launching event in more detail, the draft programme and further information can be accessed at:
