Understanding global interdependencies, the global issues and challenges that are part of today's globalised world, as well as understanding their history and their interrelations are key to acquiring global learning skills and to be able to take informed decisions that affect not only one’s very own life, but that will also have a positive impact on the lives of others, in the local as well as global community. Many times, global issues such as social justice, poverty, food security, sustainability, equity, human rights and power relations appear very disconnected from our every day life. | Understanding global interdependencies, the global issues and challenges that are part of today's globalised world, as well as understanding their history and their interrelations are key to acquiring global learning skills and to be able to take informed decisions that affect not only one’s very own life, but that will also have a positive impact on the lives of others, in the local as well as global community.

The project will create a stronger coalition of citizens from around the world including the six project countries. The citizens will feel and also become more connected based on their common interest for a more just and equitable world and especially a more fair and equitable global food system that will ensure food sovereignty to farmers and local communities as well as promote fairer relations between Europe and the Global South, and ensure a greater respect for sustainable lifestyles. Citizens will have opportunities to connect through online groups and the website, as well as through the International Summer School of the project. The virtual and physical spaces will offer a forum for citizens across Europe to exchange their own knowledge and experiences, to learn from each other and to generate wider engagement of citizens supporting such initiatives and to advocate for positive change. | The project will create a stronger coalition of citizens from around the world including the six project countries.
