APCEIU is organizing, in partnership with JoongAng Ilbo, a World Education Forum 2015 Pre-conference Side Event titled ‘Global Citizenship Education: Lessons and Visions from South Korean Experiences at the National, Regional and Global Levels’ to be held at Songdo Convensia on the morning of 19 May 2015. Set to be held shortly before and in close conjunction with WEF, this forum aims to serve as a platform for a wider and deeper dialogue and discussion on the topic of Global Citizenship Education (GCED). Invited policymakers and practitioners at the presence of a mixture of Korean and international audience are expected to weigh in with their own experiences over the years for the promotion and implementation of GCED. The forum begins by taking stock of how GCED has been shaped and developed until now both in Korea and abroad and envisioning its future for the next 15 years to reaffirm the importance of GCED and mobilize support for it. This will be followed by sharing good practices and innovations in educational settings from formal to informal and non-formal, involving educators, youth and the media.
