„Global Education Learning Platform“ is a joint proposal of five non-governmental organisations from Benin, Czech Republic, France, Ireland and one university from South Africa, organisations with extensive experience in implementing non-formal and formal global education programmes and activities.

The project has a special focus to exchange between the European and non-European perspectives, enriching each other. Furthermore, the project 1) explores the options how to effectively include young people with fewer opportunities (less privileged geographical backgrounds), 2) special attention will be given to exchanging of practical concepts, methods and tools and their connection to their European and African identities with a result to 3) foster cooperation in youth training as well as development cooperation among the participating organisations.The proposed activities comprise a thorough preparation phase including promotion of the project's objectives at national level, engaging wider public, using an innovative ICT tool as well as dissemination of concrete results of the project. A series of four study visits on 4 specific topics in Benin (Global education), France (Migration), Czech Republic (Deconstructing stereotypes) and South Africa (Global citizenship) will be carried out and evaluated with the aim for the key actors of each organization to gain practical experience and deeper understanding of the different methodologies and aspects of working on global education. The study visits will enable 48 youth trainers and 6 project coordinators to multiply the gained knowledge after each study visits in their local environment through 24 national multiplying events.
