GAINKids: Global Citizenship for Kids addresses Global Citizenship, Diversity, Gender equality, Non Discrimination and Equal Opportunities for the preschool education sector.
The project was supported through an Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership on School Education.
Based on the Convention on the Rights of the Child, GAINkids addresses the complementarity of Prevention, Provision, Protection and Participation rights.
Considering educators and professional of education, fundamental agents in the construction of the process of Citizenship and Equal Opportunities, the project aims to:
Train and develop professionals’ competences to address global citizenship education and the rights of the child in the context of the early school education sector;
Sensitize families and communities to the importance of the rights of the child, the education for the global justice and to value and respect the diversity;
Develop global citizenship education materials for the early school education sector and involve children in the reflection and production of the project's development instruments.
The materials about the Project as well as conclusions and recommendations will be shared with the wider public on the web page, which is under construction now. Soon we will happily share it with you.
