Citizenship<https://www.eadi.org/bridge-47-building-global-citizenship/&… project

organisations, activists and other interested people to interact with one another,
exchange information and resources and develop new and innovative approaches for global
citizenship education. The project focuses on joint advocacy efforts and building new
partnerships, while it also supports the civil society to develop new and effective
approaches to reaching out to new stakeholders and provides tools to promote and act upon
Global Citizenship Education. The project works closely with partners engaged in informal
and non-formal education and life-long learning with a view to promoting transformative
change in society. Download the full tender

The United Nations 2030 Agenda considers education central in achieving the Sustainable
Development Goals and for the first time in the global context, recognises that parallel
efforts are needed to ensure that all lifelong learners, of different ages and
backgrounds, acquire the knowledge and skills to promote sustainable development as
outlined in detail by SDG 4.7. Working towards this goal, the B47 project facilitates the
implementation of this target and I) aims at developing and promoting successful policies
and practices concerning new and innovative ways of reaching out to the wider society OR
ii) responds to the focus shift from formal education to informal and non-formal education
and invites us to rethink the knowledge, skills, and capacities we all need as world
citizens.
EADI, the European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes takes the
leading role in the work on Knowledge Exchange Partnerships which serve to ensure a free
flow of information and best practices between research institutions and civil society
organisations. This is done by building new and strengthening existing regional
partnerships. With a series of events, workshops and conferences over the next years, we
are contributing to bridge gaps between civil society organisations and academia. The
regional Knowledge Exchange Partnerships in Iberia, Northern Europe and South-Eastern
Europe will be open to interested civil society organisations and academic institutions.
