The Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU) will organize the 6th Youth Leadership Workshop on GCED (Global Citizenship Education) from 25 to 31 May 2022.
The one-week Workshop aims to build capacity of dynamic youth leaders
around the world to identify strategies to achieve Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs), specifically Target 4.7. While enabling
participants to deepen their understanding of GCED, the Workshop allows
the young leaders to play a major role and become part of a wider
network of youth leaders for GCED.
During the Workshop,
participants will identify specific priority issues around global
citizenship and establish plans for the future direction of GCED.
Working both individually and in groups, the young leaders will devise
the goals and strategies for use at local and national levels.
Participants
will learn about specific areas such as GCED, human rights, and peace
building through information sessions and engage in dialogue and debates
on the evolving issues. As part of the Workshop, participants will also
make a field visit to discuss the role of youth for a more peaceful and
sustainable future.
