On basis of the 2008 Joint Management Agreement with the European Commission, the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe (NSC) held its launching event for the promotion of global/development education in the new EU member states on 23-24 March 2009 in Budapest. The event was organised in partnership with the Hungarian platform HAND and DEEEP.
