Global and Civic Education

Fair and decent housing in sustainable communities (covered mainly by SDG 11) is the main driving force of this joint project (2017 - 2021). Build Solid Ground Project is an EU-funded project which is being carried out by 14 partners in 7 countries. Program countries include Bulgaria, Hungary, Ireland, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and the UK. Our niche is to focus on education and awareness-raising activities in the areas of preventing youth radicalization, migration, interfaith, interethnic and multicultural dialogue, and Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda 2030).

Within this project (2019) we have developed a teaching tool for teachers - a role play showing the situation on the border when traveling to the West before 1989. The aim was to provide teachers with an interactive method of teaching the history of the Velvet Revolution and discussing issues of human rights and liberty. We have trained 60 teachers around Slovakia, who have used the tool in teaching their students.

The project (2018 - 2019), implemented in a consortium of four partners, aims to promote multidisciplinarity and innovation at all levels of formal education in Slovakia through Global Education (GE). It focuses on increasing the quality and range of Global Education through the cooperation of relevant GE actors.
