Global citizenship workshop delivered for AKÜ, Estonia for young Europeans
Show details
Designed and delivered a two-day global citizenship workshop for young people from the Baltic states and Austria. The workshop enabled young people to reflect on how they could use their experience of international volunteering to inform others of global issues. With the support of thinkingpeople, participants explored what makes an effective global education project and global educator, and developed their own global education project plan.
- “I'd like to express my gratitude for your input and admiration to your professional attitude at the seminar. Thanks for sharing and inspiring! We really were lucky to have you! Thousands thanks!”

- Returned Volunteer weekend - to inspire volunteers to actively use the experiences they had on the programme in their future lives, for the benefit of themselves and others.
Participants attending this training have come from the following countries: The Philippines, Nigeria, Ghana, Indonesia, UK, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and India.
