Education for global citizenship
Joint line of work of the Institute for Professional Development (IDP-ICE) of the University of Barcelona and the UB Solidarity Foundation, started in 2005 and aimed at promoting the curricular integration of education for global citizenship in formal education by supporting the work of teachers.
Currently, the projects focus on the potential of training research for this integration. To this end, we manage the online educational resource center Portal PAULA and we promote the initiative Research for Global Citizenship, which seeks the achievement of high school research papers educating in human rights and global citizenship.
Also within the framework of the programme, we announce the Research for Peace award (for high school research work) and the Sustainability and Human Rights Poster Award (for UB student work).
This project is related to the following ODS of the Agenda 2030:
-
