Walk the Global Walk, through Global Citizenship Education (GCE), mobilizes young people as catalysts for transformational change, localizes the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and produces an innovative educational model addressing complexities of the current global agenda. The transferrable and pioneering model, capable of integrating a new understanding of global issues related to migration, climate change and gender equality, will be adapted to the formal education curricula of secondary schools.
Promoted by Tuscany Region and Oxfam Italia Intercultura, and co-funded by the European Union, the Walk the Global Walk project, connects local authorities, and regional and local communities (school communities and civil society organisations) from 11 European countries: Italy, France, Croatia, Cyprus, UK (Wales and Scotland), Portugal, Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Albania. Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG11), Climate Action (SDG 13), Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions (SDG 16) are the three SDGs to be addressed over the course of this project as they were considered burning issues relevant to young people but ones with which they were not well-acquainted.
