Formal, non-formal and informal learning

Formal learning

The Global Education Week (GEW) is a Europe-wide awareness raising event that takes place annually in formal and non-formal education setting across the continent. The first event that took place in 1999 and it was launched by the North-South Center and it was focused on overcoming poverty and social exclusion. The NSC invited all the Member States of the Council of Europe to participate in the GEW and invited educators and learners to explore education activities for global citizenship. The GEW addresses issues related to diversity and inequality at local and global levels.
