Description
The project is aimed at increasing public awareness on the issues of international development cooperation and on the 17 Sustanaible Development Goals. GenerAction 2030: Regional Alliances for Global Citizenship Education is a project, which comes from the willingness of the Region of Tuscany and the Region of Puglia to promote crosscutting and participatory activities in education that aim at mainstreaming knowledge, skills, attitudes and lifestyles regarding sustainable development. This willingness is framed in the Constitutions’ 117th Article, third comma illustrating the Regions’ prerogative, which allows them to carry out actions within Education, specific to their geographical areas as long as and that do not oppose the States’ principles. The project aims at adopting a systemic approach, involving different stakeholders and bringing togethe Allegato 2_ Modello Documento Unico di Progetto social, cultural, economic and environmental aspects and thus going beyond single or project-based actions to embed the themes in a structured way within the regional education systems. In 24 months, 480 teachers, 24,000 students, 170 young activists, 175 Local Authority representatives, 10 civil society organisations and 10 Councils will increase their competences and capacity to promote and adapt the 2030 Agenda goals. This will be guaranteed by the two Regions’ coordinating the project’s activities due to their central role in gathering their communities’ needs and facilitating required actions, engaging different stakeholders. The project focuses upon three main aspects: 1. The set-up of regional courses and teacher trainings on issues regarding the 2030 Agenda. This will also involve Adult Education Centres (Centri per l’Istruzione per gli Adulti - CPIA) , facilitating greater inclusion and strengthening employment skills for youth, especially with migrant backgrounds; 2. Creating and/or strengthening coordination of regional groups working on Global Citizenship Education, through trainings and exchanges between Local Authorities and students thus facilitating youth participation in decisions concerning sustainable issues in their communities; 3. Increasing student’ engagement as active agents in conversations and CSO and Local Authorities’ capacity to raise citizen awareness on issues regarding the 2030 Agenda through events, grassroot campaigns as well as through different communication channels and actions. The project comes from the Region of Tuscany’s 30-year legacy of Global Citizenship Education which set up a Working Group on Global Citizenship Education (Tavolo di Coordinamento sull’Educazione alla Cittadinanza Globale) in 2018 made up of the Region of Tuscany, the Regional Education Body, universities and research institutes, schools, CSO’s working in Global Citizenship Education, Local Authorities and local fora working in international cooperation. All the Working Group members build capacity on complementary and crosscutting skills regarding Education for Sustainability. In 2020, the Region of Tuscany’s Working Group on Global Citizenship Education set up a participatory needs analysis in order to implement the National Strategy on Global Citizenship Education. It identified different activities aimed at creating a Regional System of promoting the 2030 Agenda in Education, captured in a publication called the White Book on Global Citizenship Education in Tuscany (Libro Bianco sull’ECG in Toscana) This project aims at following up on this process and transferring it to other regions such as Puglia.
