Poland: quality of development education debate

Representatives of Polish NGOs involved in global education met on the 11th of March 2010 to discuss criteria, ways of evaluating and mechanisms of ensuring high quality of global education in Poland. The meeting, conducted by members of the Institute of Global Responsibility (IGO), provided an opportunity to prepare for a common position for the multistakeholder meeting on the 29th of March.

There are 6 multistakeholder meetings planned altogether in 2010, each focusing on a different aspect of global education in Poland (i.e. financing, definition, new actors etc.). Among the involved parties are representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Education, inservice teacher training centres, publishers etc. Additionally there is a moodle learning platform to enable further and deeper discussions also for those who cannot participate in meetings.

The multi-stakeholder process was launched at the Conference on Global Education in Warsaw in December 2009 (see http://www.igo.org.pl/news/97). The anticipated result of all 6 meetings and the moodle platform discussions will be an multistakeholder consensus on the development of development education in Poland.

The Institute of Global Responsibility is very much involved in the process. Feel free to contact us for more details at: networking[at]igo.org.pl
