Global Education Global Education & Development Education: terms often used interchangeably North-South Centre of the Council of Europe: “Global Education is an education that opens people’s eyes and minds to the realities of the world, and awakens them to bring about a world of greater justice, equity and human rights for all. Global Education is understood to encompass Development Education, Human Rights Education, Education for Sustainability, Education for Peace and Conflict Prevention and Intercultural Education; being the global dimension of Education for Citizenship.” (The “Maastricht Global Education Declaration”, 2002)
