We expect part 2 to take place end of August/early September. The format and focus for part 2 will be co-designed with participants based on the outcome of part 1. Join us for a full-day interactive workshop designed to help members co-create equity-rooted Global Citizenship Education (GCE) ideas. Grounded in the Double Diamond design thinking model, this session will explore with practitioners new design and working methods. We will discuss self-care, participatory and justice-centred approaches, barriers to meaningful engagement with marginalised communities, inclusion, co-agency, accessibility and much more. The workshop will be centred on equity and collective transformation and through storytelling, visualisation, and co-design, participants will develop practical insights to guide their work.
