Rejoin Erasmus + |
|
UKGLAS is an active organisation in the campaign for the UK to rejoin this programme which was of such great benefit to UK schools. So far:
- We have had three letters published in the Guardian
- Lobbied senior politicians from all the major parties
- We support the Erasmus + Alliance
- Raised the issue with the Secretariat of the UK/EU Parliamentary Partnership Assembly, the German Ambassador to the UK and the London
Mayor
- Joined the European Local Partnerships group and attended face to face meetings in Bath (October 2023) and in Leeds (June 2024)
See European Local Partnerships (Education) for further details
- Prepared a useful summary of the current Erasmus + programme which can be used to illustrate what our schools have lost, this can be
downloaded here.
- Prepared an Erasmus + powerpoint with the same theme, this can be downloaded here.
The European Movement has produced an annotated map 'Erasmus Stories from across the UK' illustrating how Erasmus changed lives across the country. Click here to download the map.

The Case for Global Learning |
|
What is Global Learning?
'Global Learning is a powerful and well established educational approach that enables pupils to reflect critically on the world and their place in it; to open their eyes, hearts and minds to the reality of the world, both locally and globally. It empowers them to understand this interdependence and imagine, hope and act to bring about a world of:
- Social and climate justice
- Peace
- Solidarity
- Equity and equality
- Planetary sustainability
- International understanding'
Extract from a new paper (July 2024) published by the Global Learning Network and the Development Education Research Centre at University College, London. This document aims to launch an important and timely debate and can be downloaded here.
