This short online event aims to bring together academics, policymakers, and practitioners with an interest in Global Education and Learning and Global Citizenship Education who are working in or on the Asia Pacific region. The event, part of an ongoing series of ANGEL webinars with a regional focus, will explore existing partnerships and regional collaborations in this important area, and attempt to identify the potential for future projects.
Questions that will be explored:
How successful have existing partnerships / regional collaborations proved?
How can political roadblocks to change best be overcome?
What are the best ways to amplify the sometimes marginalised voices of smaller countries in regional dialogues?
This event has been developed in partnership with the New Zealand Centre for Global Studies, an NGO that conducts research and policy analysis on global affairs and New Zealand's role within that realm, and which takes Global Citizenship Education as one of it's four major thematic programmes.

This event, to be held at 09:00 GMT on the 26th February 2025, will last around 90 minutes and will be hosted via Zoom. The event will be in English. The facilitator will be Libby Giles (Director of the New Zealand Centre of Global Studies, New Zealand), with welcoming words and reflections from Doug Bourn, Co-Chair of the ANGEL advisory board.
