Win a Trip To South Korea For a Youth Leadership Workshop
The Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International
Understanding (APCEIU) and the United Nations Global Education First
Initiative (GEFI) will organize a leadership training workshop for young
leaders in Global Citizenship Education (GCED) from the 11th July to
16th July 2016, at the Busan University of Foreign Studies in Busan,
Republic of Korea.
The four-day leadership training aims to contribute achieving the
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically Target
4.7, to foster global citizenship through education. As well as
enabling participants to deepen their understanding of GCED, the
workshop allows the young leaders to play a major role and become part
of a wider network of youth leaders for GCED.
Organized in partnership with the Mahatma Gandhi Institute of
Education for Peace and Sustainable Development (MGIEP), Busan
University of Foreign Studies (BUFS) and Geumjeong District of Busan
Metropolitan City, the workshop aims to build the capacity of dynamic
young leaders from across the world to strengthen their leaderships for
GCED.
Approximately 50 participants, between the ages of 18 to 24, will
be selected on the basis of their current engagement and future
commitment in educating youth at the local and national levels around
GCED. Participants must have a minimum of two years’ experience in youth
activities, sufficient understanding of GCED issues and priorities, and
proven experiences of influencing change at the local or national
levels.
Attending participants will be asked to identify specific priority
issues around GCED and youth leadership in achieving SDG 4.7. Working
both individually and in groups, the young leaders will expand on these
topics, devising goals and strategies for use at local and national
levels. Participants will also engage in information sessions and
workshops at the training to support them in this task, on areas such as
‘Advocacy tools to build GCED strategies,’ and ‘SDG 4.7 and GCED youth
leadership.’
Applications
for the Youth Leadership Workshop on GCED must be submitted before 25
May 2016(EST). Successful applicants will be notified by 3 June 2016.
Travel and local expenses will be covered for all successful applicants (Participants will be responsible for the domestic travel expenses and visa fees in their own countries).
