Global Objective
The global objective of this Call for Proposals is to ensure the commitment of EU citizens to development and contribute to sustainable lifestyle patterns of EU citizens.
Specific Objectives
The specific objectives of this call for proposals are:
- to develop European citizens’ awareness and critical understanding of the interdependent world, of roles and responsibilities in relation to the development issues of the “People” and “Planet” pillars of the Consensus, and
- to encourage their active engagement with global attempts to address these issues whilst simultaneously promoting fundamental values.
The objectives will be reached through a combination of campaigns, awareness raising, communication and outreach activities and global learning. Global learning activities either within or outside the formal education system cannot be the main part of the actions proposed. In case formal education actions are proposed, they should be developed in complementarity with Member States’ efforts in development education.
