The Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding
(APCEIU) will organize the 6th Youth Leadership Workshop on GCED (Global
Citizenship Education) from 25 to 31 May 2020.
The one-week Workshop aims to build capacity of dynamic youth leaders
around the world to identify strategies to achieve Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs), specifically Target 4.7. While 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.
During the Workshop, participants will identify specific priority
issues around global citizenship and establish plans for the future
direction of GCED. Working both individually and in groups, the young
leaders will devise the goals and strategies for use at local and
national levels.
Participants will learn about specific areas such as GCED, human
rights, and peace building through information sessions and engage in
dialogue and debates on the evolving issues. As part of the Workshop,
participants will also make a field visit to discuss the role of youth
for a more peaceful and sustainable future.

travel expenses and visa fees in their own countries).
