Agreement on Global Education in Poland signed

Zagranica Group, The Polish NGDO platform, through its Global Education (GE) working group, continues the multi-stakeholder process, initialized in December 2009. After a series of meetings among the representatives of different sectors and actors involved in Global Education in Poland which took place in 2010, the GE working group prepared a consensus to be signed by the main parties involved.

The document, as well as the process itself, was discussed during a panel that took place at the conference organized on 26-28th May in Warsaw (by Polish Humanitarian Action and the Global Development Research Group). The discussion focused on the effects of the process after 18 months and its future development, including a possible institutionalization. Representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Education, civil society and academia have been invited to participate in the panel. Afterwards the agreement has been signed (between MFA, ME and NGDO platform). The “Report on the multi-stakeholder process on global education”, as well as the minutes of the multi-stakeholder meetings will be published on the website of Zagranica Group: http://www.zagranica.org.pl/.

The follow-up planned for the forthcoming months includes national and international seminars. The multi-stakeholder meetings will be continued, with the aim of monitoring the implementation of the agreement.
