Empowering Citizenship, Strengthening Governance
We help individuals exercise active citizenship and promote good governance through collective action. We understand citizenship as an individual commitment to participating in society, exercising rights and embracing responsibilities, while governance is a shared effort that brings people and institutions together to build more inclusive, democratic and accountable communities.
WHO WE ARE
The Global Citizenship Education Fund (GCEF) is a foundation governed by an international trust committed to promoting the knowledge, respect, and daily exercise of human rights and fundamental freedoms.
The trustees’ method is to articulate public sector entities, the private sector, academia, and civil society (PPACS) around the 30 articles of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the pacts and conventions that have transformed them into positive and binding law.
Aware of the complexity of the issues related to the promotion and dissemination of human rights and fundamental freedoms, we have created an interdisciplinary Content Support Unit to ensure the quality of our services.
GCEF’s FIELD OF ACTION
Our focus: Citizenship rights, duties and responsibilities
We engage in Global Citizenship Education to provide the understanding, skills and values needed to cooperate in resolving the interconnected challenges of the 21st century.
HOW WE WORK
We document, disseminate, and help replicate best collaboration practices to achieve universal access to fundamental human rights and social development goals implemented by public, private, civil society, and research-oriented stakeholders.
To achieve our mission, we offer three different, but complementary services: intensive courses, tailored-made courses and short- and long-term technical assistance.
Aware of the complexity of the issues related to the promotion and dissemination of human rights and fundamental freedoms, we have created an interdisciplinary Content Support Unit to ensure the quality of our services.
