Global issues to schools…

We are an educational organization dealing with Global Education and teaching about challenges of today‘s world since 2004.

We bring Global Education to the schools and we empower the teachers to talk openly with their pupils and students about current world’s issues (e.g. about inequalities, stereotypes, climate change, migration, responsible consumption).

Our activities support open and tolerant society and people‘s active participation in bringing the change.

About us

What we do

We offer a broad range of educational programmes for pupils that we implement directly at schools.
We can prepare an educational programme almost on any topic which is relevant for Global Education. This way we respond to teachers’ needs.
We offer seminars and workshops for nursery, primary school and secondary school teachers that take place in an interactive way and that give the opportunity to try the activities which are supposed to be used in teaching process afterwards.
We are part of national and international projects focused on Global Education, teacher development, and working with pupils.

We organize a Global Education conference for teachers, headmistresses, headmasters, students of pedagogy and informal education teachers who are interested in global issues.
We are active mostly in Olomouc, Zlín and Moravian-Silesian Region (in the Czech Republic).
We offer verified methodical materials dedicated to global development education topics that may save teachers’ time.
