Home is our first school, where our life lessons start,
and school is our second home, shaping our minds and hearts.
A value-based education is the path we should preserve
guiding the world’s children toward the future they deserve.

Justice, Peace, and Sustainability are needs that we must defend,
for both the People and the Planet on which our precious lives depend.
With Hope in Action, we rise to make things better -
Global Education is the answer that can bind us all together.

The 2025 edition of Global Education Week ran from 17 to 24 November and was organised under the theme “Shaping a Just, Peaceful and Sustainable Future”, inspiring participants worldwide to “turn hope into action.”

GEW invites schools, youth groups, NGOs and communities to host workshops, conferences, environmental-education activities, and civic-engagement projects around the five core pillars of the 2030 Agenda: People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and Partnership.

The North-South Centre of the Council of Europe and the Global Education Network coordinate the campaign globally, helping mobilise and support educational and community efforts across Europe and beyond, promoting global citizenship, solidarity, and sustainable, inclusive development.
