Wednesday, 8 July, 2026 - 13:00

Global Citizenship Education in national curricula.

This webinar, co-developed with the Global Education Time (GET) project, focuses on how Global Citizenship Education is integrated into national curricula.


This event is the third in the new ANGEL Research to Policy Webinar Series, which focuses on key issues identified by policymakers through GENE’s policy learning processes — offering insights, evidence, and dialogue grounded in real policy needs.

Based on curriculum mapping research from the Global Education Time (GET) project, it examines where and how key global challenges such as climate change, gender inequalities, global inequalities, and migration are addressed in formal education.

 

GET is a project co-founded by the European Union through the DEAR Programme.
