IDEA Global Education Champion Candidate Pledge

With the General Election around the corner, IDEA has been advocating with election candidates to sign our Global Education Champion pledge

Global Education Champion Pledge 

Mindful of the critical challenges facing our world, including climate change, poverty, inequality, war and conflict, I hereby pledge to become a Global Education Champion. If elected, I commit to championing Global Education in pursuit of a fairer and more sustainable future for all, by advocating for increased cross-departmental investment and support for Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship, and its expansion across all sectors—formal, non-formal, and informal.         

 

The following candidates have signed the pledge so far:


Our candidate pledge aligns with IDEA’s election manifesto for the General Election 2024, which can be read here
