About
“Development, the MDGs and Beyond 2015: A European Programme for Global Citizenship for University Students” (“Global Campus”) is a DEAR programme that targets the “interested majority” (i.e. students from a wide range disciplines who are not formally studying development but are interested and want to engage) in 13 University locations across 4 European countries and 8 regions.
The Programme takes a non-formal, global learning, experiential approach that aims to “empower [students] with knowledge, skills, values and attitudes desirable for world citizens to face global problems...to become active social agents”1. As such, it focuses on developing student competencies in addressing issues of global development through the use of learner-centred, participatory, dialogue-oriented and experiential methodologies.
