About the project

Politeia Project

POLITEIA is an Erasmus+ project that aims to address the gap in the provision of global citizenship education in secondary schools and to support teachers to promote and integrate global citizenship in their teaching, in the U.K., Greece, Portugal, Slovenia and Cyprus.
The project seeks to build an innovative, tailored training course addressed to teachers to allow them to confidently bring global citizenship issues in the classroom, integrate its themes and values in the citizenship course or across curricula and ignite students’ interest in global citizenship.

How will POLITEIA achieve
its goal?

  • By enhancing the competences of teachers to understand and integrate global citizenship education in their teaching.
  • By strengthening the provision of global citizenship education in schools with innovative methods, tools and resources.
  • By promoting the inclusion of global citizenship education in school curricula.
