Visegrad Regional Seminar on Global Development Education

The Visegrad Regional Seminar on Global Development Education took place in Prague on the 24th and 25th of March, 2011. Representatives of ministries, state agencies, schools, NGOs and other organizations active in the field of Global Development Education in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia gathered in Prague to discuss concepts, perspectives, methodologies and strategies of Global Development Education together with renowned experts from non-Visegrad countries.

Two days filled with presentations, discussions and workshops brought interesting findings, suggestions and conclusions on different levels – personal, institutional, on the level of co-operation among subjects from Visegrad countries and more. Presentations and other materials from the seminar will be available for download on http://www.fors.cz/ soon. The final report will be published after approval in the upcoming months.
