Maastricht Declaration Global Education is education that opens people’s eyes & minds to the realities of the world, and awakens them to bring about a world of greater justice, equity & human rights for all. GE is understood to encompass Development Education, Human Rights Education, Education for Sustainability, Education for Peace & Conflict Prevention and Intercultural Education; being the global dimensions of Education for Citizenship. Maastricht Declaration on Global Education in Europe (2002).

National Strategy Development A Key Focus for GENE - Sharing Policy Learning on Quality National Strategy Development

In Common? Strong emphasis on need for: Learning from International Experience. Quality. Official Institutional Support

Critical Questions!  Why? Is there a need for a Strategy?  Who is leading the Strategy process?  Where are the stakeholders at now?  Does it have official institutional support?  Is there a common understanding of DEAR concepts?  Is it learning from international experience and practice?

Critical Questions  How Participative is it?  Is adequate time being allowed?  Is capacity building needed and where?  Is it result and quality orientated, With monitoring and evaluation?
