  • Overview:

    The European Centre for Global Interdependence and Solidarity, or “North-South Centre of the Council of Europe” (NSC), was created in 1989 with the purpose of spreading the universal values upheld by the Council of Europe – human rights, democracy and the rule of law – in Europe and beyond. Since its inception, the NorthSouth Centre has been advocating a dialogue between the North and the South, fostering solidarity, creating partnerships, and raising awareness about global interdependence. The specific mission of the Centre is to empower civil society, in particular youth and women, through intercultural dialogue and global citizenship education. The work of the North-South Centre develops around three Programmes: Youth Cooperation, Global Education, Empowerment of Women, having all of them “Migration” as cross cutting dimension. The Youth Cooperation Programme of the North-South Centre promotes youth participation through training and capacity building courses aimed at facilitating young people and youth organizations’ involvement in decision and policy making processes at all levels of governance.

    The specific objectives of the course are:

  •  to understand the skills, values and knowledge behind the concept of GDE;
  •  to provide youth multipliers with a series of competences and tools to promote and disseminate principles of GDE to other young people.
