This will be an opportunity to hear first-hand about ongoing Global Citizenship Education research from people who are at the heart of it. It will also be an opportunity to contribute your thoughts on the current state of play of research in the sector, identify shared research priorities for the sector, and what your own research needs as an individual or organisation are.

The event will begin with a Moderated Roundtable discussion followed by a Q&A. The second part will be a facilitated discussion amongst participants on their views on research in the sector and their needs.
