In 2002, the North-South Centre of the
Council of Europe, Global Education Network Europe and partners agreed
in Maastricht on a strategy for the promotion and support of Global
Education in Europe until 2015. The Maastricht Declaration established
the first framework for improving, through education, public awareness
and understanding of global challenges and how to meet them. Ten years
after, the same stakeholders and new actors in the field met again to
assess achievements made since the Maastrich Declaration and to define a
plan of action for remaining objectives until 2015.
The 2nd European Congress on Global
Education took place on 27-28 September 2012 in Lisbon and brought
together the main stakeholders from all over Europe and the neighbouring
regions. The Congress enjoyed the financial support of the European
Commission and was co-organised by the North-South Centre of the Council
of Europe, the Global Education Network Europe (GENE) and the European
NGO Confederation for Relief and Development (CONCORD). Local partners
were IPAD - Camões – Institute for Co-operation and Language, the
University of Lisbon and the Portuguese NGDO Platform.
