From 27-28 May 2010 a national seminar to promote global/development education in Slovakia took place in Bratislava. The meeting brought together all stakeholders in the field of global/development education in Slovakia and approximately 40 participants from ministries, methodological pedagogical centres, governmental agencies, representatives from non-governmental organisations dealing with global/development education at national, regional and local level, local authorities as well as foreign experts from the Portuguese NGDO Platform (Plarforma ONGD), the Austrian Development Agency (ADA) and the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe (NSC).
The seminar was organised by the Slovak NGDO Platform and their members and took place in co-operation and with the support of the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe and the European Commission. The programme of the seminar tackled main challenges and perspectives for global development education in Slovakia; the role of civil society as well as local authorities in this field; European perspectives on global/development education, and the role of European institutions in supporting global development education in the new member states of the EU. The main objective of the seminar was to enable an exchange between all important stakeholders in the field of global/development education and to initiate the setting up of a working group for the preparation of a draft national Globlal/Development Education strategy for Slovakia.
