Climate change, deepening inequalities, migration, or gender equality issues. These are topics that the younger generation deeply cares about. To help pupils and students bring their ideas into the public space and achieve the greatest possible impact, we are looking for experienced mentors and creative artists to join our team. The overarching organizer of the project is the educational organization ARPOK, o.p.s.

Through participatory research in eight European countries, the GET project explored how Global Citizenship Education and key global challenges—climate change, migration, gender and international inequalities—are integrated into national curricula.

Migration often enters schools as a word without a face: a headline, a stereotype, a shadow. Over the last year, the GET Bulgaria team worked closely with schools to change that. Through global citizenship education and project resources, migration became a human story – one that can be understood, felt, and shared.

At the Lower Secondary School in Furtei, Sardinia (Italy), teachers and students involved in the GET project chose to explore the topic of migration. They listened to the voices of people who have experienced it firsthand and created seven audio interviews. This Global Citizenship Education (GCE) approach encouraged curiosity and empathy, setting aside stereotypes and prejudice to truly listen to others.

At Kingswood Community College in Dublin, teacher Niamh O’Halloran and student Sol Stuart wanted to challenge the polarised way migration is often discussed online. Their idea led to Polarised, a documentary that focuses on how our consumption of media and the rise of disinformation and misinformation are leading to political polarisation.
